Human Papillomavirus Can Escape Immune Recognition through Langerhans Cell Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase Activation

Abstract excerpt

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection of cervical epithelium is linked to the generation of cervical cancer. Although most women infected with HPV clear their lesions, the long latency period from infection to resolution indicates that HPV evolved immune escape mechanisms. Dendritic cells, which are targeted by vaccination procedures, incubated with HPV virus-like particles induce an HPV-specific immune response....
