Detection of cells exposed to human papillomavirus (HPV) by Raman Spectroscopy (CAT#: STEM-ST-0031-WXH)

Introduction

Human papillomavirus infection (HPV infection) is caused by a DNA virus from the Papillomaviridae family. Many HPV infections cause no symptoms and 90% resolve spontaneously within two years. In some cases, an HPV infection persists and results in either warts or precancerous lesions. These lesions, depending on the site affected, increase the risk of cancer of the cervix, vulva, vagina, penis, anus, mouth, tonsils, or throat.

Principle

Raman Spectroscopy is a non-destructive chemical analysis technique which provides detailed information about chemical structure, phase and polymorphy, crystallinity and molecular interactions.
The principle behind Raman spectroscopy is that the monochromatic radiation is passed through the sample such that the radiation may get reflected, absorbed, or scattered. The scattered photons have a different frequency from the incident photon as the vibration and rotational property vary.

Applications

• Analysis of biocompatibility of a material.
• Analysis of nucleic acids.
• Study of interactions between drugs and cells.
• Photodynamic therapy (PDT).
• Analyzing metabolic accumulations of a substance or compounds.
• Diagnosis of disease.
• Analysis of individual cells.
• Cell sorting applications.
• Analyzing the features of biomolecules.
• Study of bone structure.

Procedure

1. Preparation of samples
2. Determine instrument parameters
3. Perform background scan
4. Test the sample
5. Data analysis

Materials

• Raman Spectrometer
• Raman Imaging Microscope
