To evaluate the variation over time of seroreactivity to human papillomavirus type 11 (HPV-11) according to disease outcome, we selected a sample of 42 condyloma acuminatum patients from a group of subjects enrolled in a placebocontrolled trial of three a-interferon preparations administered parente

Abstract
A study of antibodies to human papillomavirus (HPV) 1 is reported in a series of sera from 126 patients with papilloma lesions of different clinical types (verruca plantaris, vulgaris, plana, condyloma acuminata, laryngeal papilloma) using a sensitive solid‐phase enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Our findings showed a significant prevalence of specific HPV 1 IgG antibodies in patients with plantar warts (65%). This incidence was considerably lower in patients with other papilloma lesions, in which positive sera may reflect a past infection with HPV 1. The ELISA test was evaluated as nearly 100 times more sensitive than the indirect immunofluorescence test, and lgG titers to HPV 1 in patients' sera were usually low. Serum samples taken at different times during the course of HPV infection in a few patients with refractory lesions did not show any significant change in their antibody titer.

Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) have been recognized as an essential pathogenic factor in anogenital cancer. HPV DNA has also been found in a subgroup of head-and-neck squamous-cell carcinomas (HNSCCs), and a causative role of the virus in the development of these tumors has been suggested by the conc
We have determined nucleotide sequences of the E7 open reading frame (ORF) of human papillomavirus type I 8 (HPV-18) isolates obtained from I 8 cervical carcinomas from Tanzanian and German patients and 8 cervical scrapings from Tanzanian non-tumor patients. The HPV-I8 prototype sequence was detecte
