Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) Vaccine

The HPV vaccines work like other immunizations that guard against viral infection. The investigators hypothesized that the unique surface components of HPV might create an antibody response that is capable of protecting the body against infection and that these components could be used to form the basis of a vaccine. These surface components can interact with one another to form virus-like particles (VLP) that are noninfectious and stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies that can prevent the complete papillomavirus from infecting cells.
