What Types of Cells are Typically Examined for HPV DNA?
The cells most commonly examined for HPV DNA are epithelial cells, particularly from the [cervix](https://), [oropharynx](https://), and anogenital regions. In histological samples, pathologists look for abnormal cell changes, such as [koilocytosis](https://), which is indicative of HPV infection. These cells are then subjected to molecular techniques to confirm the presence of HPV DNA.
