Abstract
The invention provides materials and methods for detection and typing of HPV infection using PNA probes. More specifically, methods are provided for detecting high-risk types of HPV infection with minimal numbers of PNA probes or using PNA probes to selectively amplify only high-risk types of HPV. Novel primer sequences are also provided.
