In situ hybridization (ISH) is the demonstration of specific genetic information within
a morphologic context. For HPV, colorimetric ISH has the advantage that it can be
applied to routine formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissues. This conserves patient
material and permits histologic selection of optimal material for testing. ISH allows
for precise spatial localization of viral sequences within tissues. ISH also allows
the integration status of HPV to be determined. The major limitations of the method
are the potential for error in HPV typing because of probe cross-hybridization and
relatively low sensitivity if the method is not fully optimized.
