Hi Maysaa

There is a common primer set for identification of any HPV type as 16 & 18. I've used them and worked properly.

primers; MY09(5-CGTCCMARRGGAWACTGATC-3)

and MY11 (5-CMCAGGGWCATAAYAATGG-3), which

amplify a region of 449–458 nucleotides (depending on

HPV type) of the highly conserved L1 ORF. 

It's published paper;

 'Complete genotyping of mucosal human papillomavirus using

a restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis

and an original typing algorithm'

If any problem don't hesitate to call me

Good luck

Thank you very much Davod for the detailed answer and for the papers . I really appreciate it

Hi Maysaa. I rather use type specific primers in case of HPV 16 and HPV 18. These sets are old, but are based in very conserved sequences from genes E6 and E7, so they still work. Remember PGMY primers are consensus, so they will amplify every HPV genotype they find in the sample. They work, but you'll have to check with a probe or sequencing if the amplicon belongs to HPV 16 or HPV 18. 

I am sending you the references, since I dont have my laptop with the pdf files. Also I am sending you a table with the sequences of the mentioned primers. 

Best, 

Vanessa

Dear Vanessa 

Many thanks for you. I really appreciate you detailed answer. but my concern is if I use specific primers for HPV-16 and 18, I  afraid to miss another HPV high risk types like 33, 58, 34,62,....etc.

So I think I have to use the primers of L1 (conservative) then make a genotyping or sequencing....

Regards 

Maysaa

Is there a publication contain the HPV-6 and 11 primer specific set?

I need a reference publication that contains the HPV-6 and HPV-11 specific primers set.
