  2. 1. Therapeutic dendritic cell vaccination against human papillomavirus

    Author : Merja Nurkkala Karlsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : human papillomavirus; therapeutic dendritic cell vaccination; cholera toxin; T cells; TLRs and CpG;

    Abstract : Cervical cancer, which is caused by infection with human papillomavirus (HPV), is the second most common cancer among women worldwide, leading to 230000 deaths annually. The two currently available HPV vaccines can only be used prophylactically, so they are of no use to the 291 million women who are already infected and at risk of developing cancer. READ MORE

  4. 2. Targeting the human papillomavirus for prevention of cervical cancer

    Author : Pontus Naucler; Malmö Klinisk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; bakteriologi; virologi; Mikrobiologi; mycology; virology; bacteriology; prevention; Microbiology; CIN; vaccine; cervical intraepithelial neoplasia; screening; cervical cancer; Human Papillomavirus; HPV; mykologi; Public health; epidemiology; Folkhälsa; epidemiologi;

    Abstract : Different types of human papillomavirus (HPV) vary in the extent they cause precursor lesions (CIN) and cancer. There are limited long-term efficacy data on HPV testing in primary screening Among 72 cervical cancers in Mozambique, HPV 16 and 18 were the most frequent HPV types (69% of cases). READ MORE

  5. 3. Human Papillomavirus vaccination: Immunological and epidemiological studies

    Author : Janka Ryding; Malmö Klinisk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ELISA ; Human Papillomavirus HPV ; parallel line method PLL ; mathematical modeling; virus-like particles VLPs ; prevalence; serology;

    Abstract : This thesis has evaluated the immunological- and epidemiological aspects of human papillomavirus transmission dynamics and its effect on circumcision. Effective prophylactic vaccines are based on type-specific neutralizing antibodies. A major neutralizing epitope is defined by the monoclonal antibody H16.V5. READ MORE

  6. 4. Improved human papillomavirus DNA typing methods and biology of cervival cancer

    Author : Biying Zheng; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Cervical cancer; human papillomavirus; Pyrosequencing; chemokine receptors; adenoassociated virus; biomarkers; and cell cycle checkpoint.;

    Abstract : Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among women worldwide. Persistent HPV has been identified as a main risk factor in cervical cancer development. Oncoproteins E6 and E7 of highrisk HPV interact with cellular proteins, subverting cell cycle checkpoint, inducing carcinogenesis. READ MORE

  7. 5. Regulation of Human Papillomavirus Type 16 Late L1 mRNA Splicing

    Author : Xiaoze Li; Avdelningen för medicinsk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; HPV-16; cervical cancer; RNA processing; alternative splicing; splicing enhancer; splicing silencer; viral persistance; SR proteins; hnRNP proteins;

    Abstract : Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) cause almost half of the human cancers that are attributable to viruses. HPV type 16 is the most carcinogenic type among the HPVs and is detected in 50% of all cervical cancers. HPV-16 infects epithelial cells and HPV-16 gene expression is tightly linked to the differentiation stage of the infected cells. READ MORE
