Journal ArticleDOI
HLA-DRB1 DNA sequencing based typing: an approach suitable for high throughput typing including unrelated bone marrow registry donors.
David Sayer,R. Whidborne,Brian Brestovac,F. Trimboli,Campbell S. Witt,Frank T. Christiansen,Frank T. Christiansen +6 more
TL;DR: A novel approach where amplification of the second exon of HLA-DRB1 is performed in a single tube for all alleles, which results in unambiguous typings in 71.1% of cases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiplex nested PCR (MNP) assay for the detection of 15 high risk genotypes of human papillomavirus.
TL;DR: The MNP assay detects 15 currently recognized HRHPV and could be very useful, in conjunction with the Pap smear, as a screening assay or to help manage Pap smears of uncertain cytology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human papillomavirus genotypes and their association with cervical neoplasia in a cohort of Western Australian women.
TL;DR: Two high‐risk HPV genotypes that are associated with the Asian region (HPV‐52 and HPV‐58) were found in Western Australian women suggesting a possible epidemiological link between women in these countries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Validation of assembled nucleic acid-based tests in diagnostic microbiology laboratories
Wayne Dimech,D. Scott Bowden,Brian Brestovac,Keith Byron,G. James,Darren Jardine,Theo P. Sloots,Elizabeth M. Dax +7 more
TL;DR: It is a particular laboratory's responsibility to validate an assembled NAT prior to using it for testing and reporting results on human samples, and one procedure that laboratories can use to establish a validation process for an assay is detailed in this document.
Journal ArticleDOI
The value of HPV DNA typing in the distinction between adenocarcinoma of endocervical and endometrial origin
Myfanwy K. Plunkett,Brian Brestovac,Jane Thompson,Gregory F. Sterrett,Pierre R. Filion,David Smith,Felicity A. Frost +6 more
TL;DR: HPV DNA testing could be a useful adjunct in distinguishing between endocervical and endometrial adenocarcinomas in curettings or small biopsy specimens, according to the results.
