Multiplexing was performed with a small amount of DNA eluted by boiling from a single PS punch in a single tube and using a mixture of four pairs of primers specific for the HPV L1 consensus sequence, HPV-16, HPV-18 and the<jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>-globin gene. Sixty HPV-positive biopsies and corresponding PS specimens from cervical cancer patients as well as cervical smears from 100 healthy women with or without abnormal cytology were collected both as PSs and in PBS. Detection of HPV DNA from cervical biopsies collected in PBS and corresponding cervical scrapes on a PS or in PBS by conventional and MPX-PCR showed a concordance of 100\u200a% and adequacy of 93\u200a%. A similar comparative study in cervical scrapes from normal women also revealed 100\u200a% concordance. The technique was validated in a multicentric study at four different national laboratories. PSs collected by different centres showed variable adequacy (73\u201382\u200a%) but the use of multiple PS discs for DNA extraction significantly increased the adequacy. Integration of PSs with MPX-PCR for the detection and typing of HPVs is a highly convenient, efficient, simple and cost-effective method for large-scale clinico-epidemiological studies and is also suitable for HPV vaccine monitoring programmes in resource-poor settings.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1099\/jmm.0.019240-0","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,8,6]],"date-time":"2010-08-06T03:03:25Z","timestamp":1281063805000},"page":"1303-1310","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Application of a multiplex PCR to cervical cells collected by a paper smear for the simultaneous detection of all mucosal human papillomaviruses (HPVs) and typing of high-risk HPV types 16 and 18"],"prefix":"10.1099","volume":"59","author":[{"given":"Shirish","family":"Shukla","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Molecular Oncology, Institute of Cytology & Preventive Oncology, Plot I7, Sector 39, Noida, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alok C.","family":"Bharti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Molecular Oncology, Institute of Cytology & Preventive Oncology, Plot I7, Sector 39, Noida, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sutapa","family":"Mahata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Molecular Oncology, Institute of Cytology & Preventive Oncology, Plot I7, Sector 39, Noida, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Showket","family":"Hussain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Molecular Oncology, Institute of Cytology & Preventive Oncology, Plot I7, Sector 39, Noida, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Suresh","family":"Hedau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Molecular Oncology, Institute of Cytology & Preventive Oncology, Plot I7, Sector 39, Noida, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rajyashri","family":"Sharma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College and Hospital, Aligarh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.
