Immunoglobulin G Responses Against Human Papillomavirus Type 16 Virus-Like Particles in a Prospective Nonintervention Cohort Study of Women With Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia

Abstract

These results suggest that HPV16 VLP-specific antibodies are not responsible for the clearance of virally induced CIN lesions but that they might, in patients with persistent HPV16 infections, be indicative of an increased cervical cancer risk.
