Determined DNA sequences derived from a papillomavirus genome, their uses for in vitro diagnostic purposes and the production of antigenic compositions

摘要

The invention concerns DNA fragments derived from the genomic DNA of HPV-33. These fragments are selected from the group of fragments extending between the nucleotide extremities defined hereafter in relation to the nucleotide-numbering in FIGS. 1 a and 1 b respectively: 76-556 543-864 867-2811 2728-3808 3326-3575 3842-4079 4198-5611 5516-8091. The invention also relates to the use of these fragments as probes for the detection of HPV in tissue cultures.
