Graphic analysis of qPCR HPV screening results. Plotting of copy number/genome for housekeeping gene (β-actin) was similar from samples of HPV-positive (range: 75-1096) and HPV-negative samples (range: 4 - 363 copies/genome). Copy number/genome using qPCR was significantly above the cutoff value (> 0.1 copies/genome), confirming the HPV-positive samples did harbor HPV16 DNA (range: 70 - 111 copies/genome), but not HPV18. Values for HPV-negative samples were well beneath the cutoff value (range: 0.0003 - 0.000004 copies/genome), with the exception of three samples (2867, 2854, 2792) that were beneath the limit of detection.
