LIFE TECHNOLOGIES <LTEK.O> FILES TEST WITH FDA
Life Technologies Inc said it
has submitted to the Food and Drug Administration a new test
which has proven effective in detecting a sexually transmitted
virus thought to play a role in the development of cervical
cancer.
    Life Technologies said the test, called "ViraPap,"
identifies the presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) by
detecting the virus' DNA makeup.
