Summary & Explanation
{"type":"root","children":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Papillomaviridae belongs to a taxonomic family of non-enveloped DNA virus, collectively known as papillomavirus. Several hundred types of papillomavirus, have been identified infecting mammals and also other amniotes such as birds, snakes and turtles. Infection by most papillomavirus types, depending on the type, is either asymptomatic (e.g. most Beta-PVs) or causes small benign tumors, known as papillomas or warts (e.g. HPV1, HPV6 or HPV11). Papillomas caused by some types, however, such as HPV16 and HPV18, carry a risk of becoming cancerous."}]}]}
Presentation
Five slides of HPV positive tissues, each mounted on Hydrophilic Plus Slides, provided in a plastic mailer.
Principle of Procedure
Control slides are Hydrophilic Plus Slides with formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue or cell sections mounted on them, serving as a tool to qualitatively verify the performance of immunohistochemical staining
