Comprehensive Assessment of the Antigenic Impact of Human Papillomavirus Lineage Variation on Recognition by Neutralizing Monoclonal Antibodies Raised against Lineage A Major Capsid Proteins of Vaccine-Related Genotypes.

Abstract excerpt

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the causative agent of cervical and other epithelial cancers. Naturally occurring variants of HPV have been classified into lineages and sublineages based on their whole-genome sequences, but little is known about the impact of this diversity on the structure and function of viral gene products. The HPV capsid is an icosahedral lattice comprising 72 pentamers of the major capsid...
