摘要: The HPV-16/18 vaccine (Cervarix®) is a prophylactic for the prevention of cervical cancer and contains recombinant virus-like particles (VLPs) assembled from L1 major capsid proteins human papillomavirus (HPV) strains 16 18. Although correlate protection has yet to be identified, HPV-specific antibodies are thought prevent virus infection genital mucosa. Therefore, antigen-specific as assessed by ELISA or pseudovirion-based neutralisation assay frequently measured in clinical trials substantiate immune responses induced vaccine. Measuring antigen-antibody binding avidities, which reflects degree affinity maturation B-cells, another valuable method assess quality antibody responses. Here we describe avidities samples taken trial examining feasibility adopting two-dose (Months 0 6) schedule 9–14 year olds instead three-dose 0, 1 6). Antibody avidity (i.e. index [AI]) was determined ratio concentrations serum treated not with chaotropic agent NaSCN. Importantly, comparison between groups recipients, no differences AIs were observed at Months 7, 24 48. results suggest that Month 7 48, response terms similar recipients recipients. Hence these support adoption year-old girls.
