Table 4.

Nucleotide sequence variations between positions 7074 and 7858 (LCR) of HPV45 variants

Each column and the numbers in first four rows represents a single specific nucleotide position in the LCR.. The fifth row shows the nucleotide (indicated by the standard letter of its nitrogenous bases; (A) adenine, (C) cytosine, (G) guanine, and (T) thymine) at each specific position for the LCR of the prototype HPV45 isolates, X74479. The sixth row is the sequence of the HaLa positive control. Alphanumeric in column are NCBI BLAST obtained isolates of known lineage. The following were the indication: variation unique to isolates of this study, variations that differentiate known HPV45 lineages, same nucleotide as prototype isolate, deletion of nucleotide at that position
