Objective: Human papillomavirus (HPV) 6 and 11 are the two most common low-risk HPV subtypes, accounting for more than 90% of condyloma acuminatum. A simple, accurate and rapid screening method to be applied in community-level hospitals is in high demand. Methods: Endogenous internally controlled recombinase-assisted amplification (EIC-RAA) assays for HPV6 and 11 were performed in a single closed-tube at 39 °C within 30 min. The sensitivity and specificity of EIC-RAA were examined using recombinant plasmids and pre-tested HPV DNA. A total of 233 clinical samples were collected, and the DNA was extracted by traditional multi-step extraction, or sample releasing agent, before analysis by EIC-RAA. For comparison, HPV detection via Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) was also performed. Results: The sensitivity of EIC-RAA analysis was 10 copies/reaction for HPV6, 100 copies/reaction for HPV11, and 100 copies/reaction for the human β-globin gene. No cross-reaction was observed with other HPV subtypes. Clinical performance of the EIC-RAA assay achieved a 100% of concordance rate with the commercial HPV qPCR kit. Further, the EIC-RAA assay achieved a 100% of concordance rate when using multi-step extracted DNA and sample releasing agent-processed DNA. Summary: The EIC-RAA assay for HPV6 and 11 detection possesses the advantages of accuracy, simplicity and rapidity, and demonstrates great potential to be used in community-level hospitals for field investigation.
