Probes for papillomaviruses and an in vitro diagnostic procedure for papilloma infections

摘要

The invention relates to papillomaviruses, particularly to DNA-HPVs isolated from the papillomaviruses IP5 and IP6, the restriction maps of which are presented in FIGS. 10 and 11, and also to probes containing these DNA-HPVs or fragments obtained from them. The invention relates, in addition, to "kits" containing distinct groups of probes, containing one of these DNA-HPVs or DNA-HPV fragments, as well as a procedure for the detection and identification of papillomaviruses which makes use of these different probes.
