*HPV, human papillomavirus; Alpha, Alphapapillomovirus; Beta, Betapapillomavirus.
†Of 391 HPV-positive specimens, 15 displayed ambiguous typing signals by direct sequencing of PCR product. Infection with >1 HPV type was detected in only 3 of 15 specimens that were tested by cloning and sequencing; the predominant type is shown.
‡Proportion.
§Oncogenic types tested in this study included HPV-16, -18, -31, -33, -35, -39, -45, -51, -52, -56, -58, -59, and -66.
¶On the basis of latest published literature and our knowledge of the detection method of HPV DNA adopted in this study (SPF1/GP6+ mediated PCR and sequencing), nononcogenic types that could be tested for were HPV-3, -6, -7, -10, -11, -26, -27, -29, -30, -32, -37, -40, -42, -43, -44, -53, -54, -55, -57, -61, -62, -67, -68, -69, -70, -72, -74, -75, -77, -81, -82, -84, -85, -87, -90, -91, and -94.
