Antibodies to human papillomavirus type 11 virus-like particles in sera of patients with genital warts and in control groups

Abstract: We analysed by ELISA a total of 478 human sera for the presence of antibodies to HPV-11 virus-like particles. The sera were obtained from patients with current genital warts (group CO), from males attending the hospital for fertility disorders (group HA), from blood donors (group BD) and from patients hospitalized for reasons unrelated to HPV infections (group HO). Antibody prevalence was higher in male patients of group CO (23.0%) as compared to males of groups HA (3-2%; P Show more

“…The researchers showed that the average ELISA value for women with warts was significantly greater than that for men, and that the number of sex partners was associated with ELISA reactivity for women. Eisemann et al 35 also detected a sex diVerence for antibodies to HPV 11 capsids in control groups consisting of hospitalised individuals without known HPV infections and blood donors without information on HPV infection, but not in patients with condylomata acuminata. Recently, lower seroreactivity to HPV 16 virus-like particles in men attending STD clinics in Denmark and Greenland compared with seroreactivity in women attending the same clinics was reported by Svare et al 36 As possible explanations biological diVerences-for example, the area of aVected mucosal surface, and variables related to sexual life were given.…”

“…There fore, we analyzed in parallel a panel of 75 sera obtained from healthy adult males. These sera had been collected as controls in a previous study and were found to be of low reactivity in an ELISA that was designed to measure anti bodies to HPV 11 VLP [10]. As their reactivity to all HPV-16-specific peptides used in this study proved to be low, too ( fig.…”

“…Sera from healthy adults attending the Department of Dermatology at the Hamburg University Hospital. Hamburg, Germany, because of fer tility problems [10] were found to be of low reactivity to the HPV-16-specific peptides and were thus used as controls to calculate the cut-off values (see below).…”
