Table 4. Presence of novel HPV types in oral tissue samples.

Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded oral tissue blocks from both normal and cancer patients were included. Quantitative Taqman assays were performed on each sample. Any samples amplified were considered positive for the HPV type tested and samples not amplified were negative for that HPV type.
