The type specificity of the human papillomavirus (HPV) Hybrid
Capture Tube (HCT) test was evaluated by using typing with PCR (MY09-MY11)-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and sequencing. All samples HCT test positive for only low-risk HPV (n = 15) or only high-risk HPV (n = 102) were confirmed, whereas 9 of 12 HCT test double-positive samples
contained only high-risk HPV types as determined by PCR-RFLP. Several
high-risk HPV types (HPV-53, -58, -62, -66, -CP8304, and -MM4) not
included in the HCT test were indeed detected, indicating a broader
detection range with retained distinction between low-risk and
high-risk HPV types.
