Mechanisms of virus immune evasion lead to development from chronic inflammation to cancer formation associated with human papillomavirus infection
5 Oct 2012
Abstract excerpt
Human papillomavirus (HPV) has developed strategies to escape eradication by innate and adaptive immunity. Immune response evasion has been considered an important aspect of HPV persistence, which is the main contributing factor leading to HPV-related cancers.
