ZytoFast® HPV type 6/11 Probe (Digoxigenin)

The ZytoFast HPV-CISH System is designed for the detection and discrimination of human papilloma virus (HPV) DNA. Most of the approx. 30 identified genital HPV types, predominantly types 6 and 11, are called “low-risk” types, and may cause mild Pap test abnormalities or genital warts. Until now, approximately 10–15 HPV types are associated with lesions that can progress to cancer. These cancer-associated HPV types are designated as high-risk HPV types. The infection with the HPV hr-types can lead to development of cancer of the cervix, vulva, vagina, anus, or penis.
