Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition is for prophylaxis and/or treatment of an infection of the cervix with human papillomavirus (HPV). A method carried out ex vivo is for predicting the probability of cure of HPV infection of the cervix. A biomarker is for predicting the emergence and/or development of cervical in-traepithelial neoplasia and/or cervical carcinoma and the likelihood of cure of cervical infection with HPV. Another method is for prophylaxis and/or treatment of cervical infection with HPV.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for predisposition prediction of a subject to the development of cervical cancer and/or cancer precursors in an infection with the human papilloma virus (HPV) and/or for the detection of a persistent HPV infection, the method comprising the steps of obtaining a sample from the subject; and detecting at least one of the diagnostic markers or fragments thereof listed in Table 1 in the sample obtained from the subject.

Abstract: The invention relates to oligonucleotides, which are suited as primers for amplifying DNA of genital human papilloma viruses (HPV), to oligonucleotides, which are suited for use as probes for typifying genital HPV genotypes, to methods for amplifying the DNA of genital human papilloma viruses (HPV), to methods for detecting and/or identifying genital HPV genotypes, to nucleotide microarrays containing the oligonucleotides, to kits and to the use of the oligonucleotides for amplifying or typifying genital HPV genotypes, for the diagnosis and/or early diagnosis of diseases and for producing agents for diagnosing diseases.

Abstract: A method for detecting human papillomaviruses (HPV) in biological material is described, in which method nucleic acids are extracted/isolated from biological material and HPV-specific DNA is detected in the isolated nucleic acids. This method uses at least one of the nucleotide sequences SEQ ID No. 1 or SEQ ID No. 2 from the enclosed sequence listing or sequences which bind to sequences to which one of the sequences SEQ ID No. 1 or SEQ ID No. 2 binds or sequences which are complementary to the abovementioned sequences.
