Abstract
This invention provides a method of typing a human papillomavirus in a patient infected by human papillomavirus which comprises: obtaining a sample containing DNA from the human papillomavirus to be typed; amplifying the L1 portion of the human papillomavirus DNA; treating the resulting amplified DNA with a plurality of predetermined restriction enzymes so as to produce restriction fragments; and analyzing the fragments so produces so as to type the human papillomavirus.
