Abstract

The p16/INK4A protein is a cellular regulatory polypeptide over-expressed in the presence of high levels of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) coded E7 protein. This review outlines the use of p16 antigen staining in cervical biopsies as well as in PAP smears summarizing the corresponding literature and commenting the authors’ own experience. The p16 antigen is a reliable marker for dysplastic cells in CINII/CINIII (HSIL) lesions as viewed in cervical biopsies. When PAP smears were examined at large scale screening for p16 antigenreactive and atypical cells, considerable variations could be found especially in ASCUS graded lesions. Therefore, the presence of p16-reactive atypical cells in PAP smears should be interpreted together with the cytological signs of dysplasia, such as the altered N/C ratio. In addition, women revealing p16-positive ASCUS/LSIL specimens should be examined for the presence of HPV DNA. Detection of HPV DNA alone, i.e. in the absence of cytological screening has a low predictive value, since the clearance of HPV may occur even in the absence of morphological alterations. Combined cytological as well as molecular follow up contributes to the efficiency of diagnostic and increases the probability of correct interpretation of the pre-cancerous lesions by non-invasive techniques.
