Abstract
A consensus primer‐mediated polymerase chain reaction devised to amplify a short sequence in LI region (L1‐PCR) efficiently detected genital human papillomaviruses (HPVs) in clinical materials. Nucleotide sequencing of the amplified fragment showed that L1‐PCR is also applicable to hitherto unsequenced HPVs. By comparing the amplified 210 nucleotides HPVs were classified into six groups, which are consistent with clinical pictures and a grouping based on cross‐hybridization under the stringent condition.
