| Popis: | A serological assay for genital HPV infection would provide important additional information to HPV DNA diagnostic methods, since it would evaluate prior exposure to the viruses, detect significant systemic immunologic response to virus infection, and could be performed in most clinical laboratories.Serum samples from three groups of patients attending a gynecology clinic were analysed by direct ELISA for specific IgG antibodies to baculovirus-expressed HPV-6 and BPV-1-L1-VLPs.Positive IgG reactivity to HPV-6-L1-VLPs were 4/72 (6%) in a control group, 28/73 (38%) in a condyloma group and 17/62 (17%) in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia patients. Individual IgG ELISA values of condyloma and CIN patients for HPV-6-L1-VLPs demonstrated no correlation to results with BPV-1-L1-VLPs.These data show that HPV-6-L1-VLPs are effective antigens for serological studies and can detect species specific antibodies with important implications for diagnosis, epidemiology, insights to natural course of disease, prognosis and evaluation of vaccination. |
