Identification of Human Papillomavirus Type 16 L1 Surface Loops Required for Neutralization by Human Sera

Abstract: The variable surface loops on human papillomavirus (HPV) virions required for type-specific neutralization by human sera remain poorly defined. To determine which loops are required for neutralization, a series of hybrid virus-like particles (VLPs) were used to adsorb neutralizing activity from HPV type 16 (HPV16)-reactive human sera before being tested in an HPV16 pseudovirion neutralization assay. The hybrid VLPs used were composed of L1 sequences of either HPV16 or HPV31, on which one or two regions were re… Show more

“…Vaccination with L1 VLPs elicits a polyclonal response that includes neutralizing antibodies directed against numerous epitopes displayed on the VLP surface. 15,29,40,41 Various assays are available to measure antibodies elicited by HPV L1 VLP vaccines. Some immunoassays are designed to measure a broad Titers are recorded in arbitrary units specific for the assay (i.e., IgG GMT mMU/mL and cLIa GMT mMU/mL).…”

“…It is known that immunization with HPV or VLPs elicits a broad, polyclonal response that recognizes many epitopes found on the capsid surface. 15,29,40,41 In natural infection, however, it is not known if a single neutralizing antibody provides complete protection, or if in fact, many antibodies may be required, working singly or in combination, to achieve complete protection. For HPV 16, the most thoroughly studied HPV type with regard to antibodymediated neutralization, an immunodominant epitope (V5) within L1 has been described, which elicits antibody responses in most naturally infected women.…”

“…[2][3][4] In the clinical trials of the qHPV vaccine, antibodies to the L1 VLPs were measured by an HPV-4 competitive Luminex immunoassay (cLIA). 5,6 This type-specific multiplexed assay measures the competition for antibody binding to a single neutralizing epitope for each VLP.…”
