Abstract

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is an infectious agent which is increasingly associated with mucosal cancers, in particular, cancer of the cervix. The present investigation was undertaken in an attempt to determine whether the Virapap human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA detection kit, originally designed for identification of HPV in exfoliated cervical cells could be employed in detection of HPV in biopsies of oral and laryngeal tissue samples, specifically oral squamous cell carcinomas, epithelial dysplasias, smokeless tobacco keratoses, and laryngeal papillomatosis. The ViraPap HPV DNA detection assay was found to be useful for HPV DNA identification in tissue samples from oral and laryngeal specimens.
