(A&B): Detection of HPV infection by PCR in ESCC cases from Kashmir region. Panel A, Representative ethidium bromide-stained 2% agarose gel showing presence of HPV infection in esophageal cancer as indicated by appearance of L1 consensus primer-generated amplimer of 450 bp along with amplification of 268 bp fragment of β-globin gene that was used as PCR internal control. Panel B, shows type-specific amplification of HR-HPV type 16 (217 bp) in HPV L1 positive samples of ESCC. P = positive control (HPV16DNA), N = negative control (Placental DNA), B = Blank, Lanes 1 to 12 are DNA samples from esophageal tumor biopsies, M = φX174 HaeIII-digested molecular weight marker.
