Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: The human leukocyte antigen G (HLA-G) allele repertoire is crucial for cell-mediated immune responses. While HLA-G's role in human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is increasingly studied, research on HLA-G and humoral immunity remains limited. This study aimed to establish whether HLA-G alleles impact type-specific HPV serological outcomes. METHODS: Altogether, 265 women from the prospective Finnish...
