Methods and reagents for detecting higher risk human papilloma virus DNA types in cells on a Pap smear which indicates the patient is at higher risk for cancer are described. The method uses full length DNA probes to HPV types (16, 18, 31, 33, 35, and 51) is a particular proportion to hybridize to and detect the viral DNA in-situ. The method differentiates high risk from low risk human papilloma virus DNA in cells which indicates the patient's risk for cancer. The in-situ hydridization is detected by brightfield microscopy.

La présente invention concerne des procédés et des réactifs permettant de détecter des types d'ADN à papillomavirus humain à risque dans des cellules au moyen d'un test Pap, lequel indique que le patient est plus exposé à des risques de cancer. Le procédé fait appel à des sondes d'ADN pleine longueur pour les types de papillomavirus humain (16, 18, 31, 33, 35 et 51) dans une proportion permettant d'hybrider et de détecter l'ADN viral in situ. Ce procédé permet de distinguer l'ADN à papillomavirus humain à haut risque de l'ADN à papillomavirus humain à faible risque et donc renseigne sur les risques de cancer chez un patient. On détecte l'hybridation par microscopie en champ clair.
