Detection of High-Risk Papillomavirus DNA with Commercial Invader-Technology-Based Analyte-Specific Reagents following Automated Extraction of DNA from Cervical Brushings in ThinPrep Media

CompuNet Clinical Laboratories, Moraine, Ohio

Received 14 September 2007/ Accepted 11 October 2007

We compared the performances of the Third Wave Technology Invader method and the Digene Hybrid Capture 2 assay to detect high-risk human papillomaviruses in 87 cervical brushing specimens submitted in Cytyc ThinPrep media. Two different methods for the extraction of DNA from squamous epithelial cells were also evaluated.
