Comparison of PCR Amplification Efficiency of 53 Patient Samples by Using Different General Primer Sets

MY09/11 GP 5/6 CPI/IIG MB-PCR/CPI/IIG*
Number of positive samples 28/53 42/53 51/53 48/50
Efficiency 53% 79% 96% 96%

*Number of positive samples determined by both gel electrophoresis after CPI/IIG amplification together with Molecular Beacons and histological revision, three samples proved histologically to be tumor cell free, two samples did not amplify HPV-DNA with CPI/IIG primers.
