Abstract:
1. A method for diagnosis of the genotype of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection comprising: (a) amplifying DNA obtained from clinical samples to obtain biotin-containing amplified DNA using a kit comprising: and a glass slide to which the probes are attached; (b) applying the amplified DNA to the DNA chip under conditions which allow hybridization of the amplified DNA to the probes; (c) applying a biotin-binding label to the hybridized DNA on the chip; and (d) detecting hybridized DNA on the surface of the DNA chip at a position corresponding to the location of a genotype specific HPV probe by detecting the biotin-binding label, wherein detection of the biotin-binding label indicates the presence of HPV DNA in the sample which corresponds to the genotype of the HPV probe to which the DNA is hybridized.
