Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: HPV16 is the most prevalent high-risk genotype associated with cervical cancer, yet the genetic variability and immune potential of the replication protein E1 are less characterized in asymptomatic infections. We assessed HPV16 E1 diversity and predicted conserved T-cell epitopes. METHODS: We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study of cervical samples from women undergoing HPV screening. HPV was...
