  1. A total of 55 samples were tested for HPV using all three methods, with 35 samples providing an evaluable result. 18 cases tested HPV positive using Ventana ISH; 5 of these were positive using all three detection methods; 2 were positive using ISH and Luminex but negative using Q-PCR, 9 were positive using ISH and Q-PCR but negative using Luminex; 2 were positive using ISH but negative using Luminex and Q-PCR. 17 cases tested HPV negative using Ventana ISH; 13 of these were negative using all three detection methods; 4 were negative using ISH and Luminex but positive using Q-PCR.
