HPV RNA ISH
Also known as: HPV RNA ISH 16/18, HPV RNA ISH High Risk Cocktail, HPV RNA ISH Low Risk Cocktail
Use
In situ hybridization on FFPE tissues for qualitative detection of E6/E7 mRNA in up to 28 HPV subtypes—comprising 10 low‑risk and 18 high‑risk types—provides diagnostic information regarding active HPV infection. The complete panel is recommended though partial panels (16/18 High Risk, High Risk Cocktail, Low Risk Cocktail) are accepted. Results indicate which component or cocktail is positive, though they do not identify specific subtypes, aiding in pathogen detection.
Special Instructions
Testing is performed on a global or consult basis. Partial panels (16/18 High Risk, High Risk Cocktail, Low Risk Cocktail) are orderable in lieu of the complete panel. Reports indicate positive component/cocktail without identifying specific subtypes.
