Abstract excerpt
Cervical cancer caused by infection with Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) is the 4th most common cancer in women globally, with the burden mainly in developing countries due to limited healthcare resources. Current vaccines based on virus-like particles (VLPs) assembled from recombinant expression of the immunodominant L1 protein are highly effective in the prevention of cervical infection; however, these vaccines...
