Abstract:Adult vaccination programs are receiving increasing attention however, little is known regarding the impact of age on the maintenance of the immune response. We investigated this issue in the context of a human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination program collecting real-world data on the durability of humoral immunity in 315 female subjects stratified according to vaccination age (adolescents and adults) and sampled at early or late time points after the last vaccine dose. HPV-specific IgGs, but not memory B cell… Show more
“…13 Ten to fourteen years old adolescents produce a significantly greater quantity of antibodies after HPV vaccination compared to girls and women aged 18–53 years. 14 Further, HPV vaccines generate a much stronger antibody response than what naturally occurs in response to HPV infection. 15 Recent studies and reviews have also indicated that administering adjuvant HPV vaccination following the treatment of HPV-related diseases is linked to a decreased risk of recurrence of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN).…”

“…Vaccines against human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are also now gaining greater recognition. 1 There are various types of HPVs: some low-risk viruses cause warts, while other high-risk viruses are closely associated with pre-neoplastic lesions and carcinomas, [2][3][4] including cervical carcinoma, which is the second most common cancer in women worldwide. 5 A safe and effective vaccine must be comprehensively characterized and subjected to quality control throughout its lifecycle from product development and manufacture to international distribution.…”
Immunoassays are commonly used in disease diagnosis and vaccine evaluation but can be costly and time-consuming when confronted with multivalent targets, such as antisera containing antibodies to human papillomavirus (HPV),...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
