چکیده
introduction: cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women worldwide and the role of human papillomavirus (hpv) has been proved in its etiology. the currentley available l1-capsid-protein-based vaccine is highly immunogenic and very high titers of serum antibodies can be obtained by its injection, but unfortunately it is restricted to only a few hpv genotypes and is relatively expensive. therefore, development of the second-generation hpv vaccines has become the focus of the research and l2 capsid protein that is capable of producing broad spectrum antibodies has become one of the main candidates. evaluation of the vaccine immunogenicity however, requires develoment of hpv pseudovirions (hpv pvss) comprised of l1 and l2 virus protein and the present study was an attempt to produce pvss of hpv18 genotype by an in-house method. methods: the hpv18 l1/l2 coding plasmid and the reporter plasmid of pegfp-n1 were amplified in e. coli dh5α and purified using silica oxide method. the plasmids were co-transfected into hek 293ft cell line and the preliminary analysis of expression was performed using fluorescence microscopy. the pvss were partially purified using gel filtration chromatography and were used to transduce the 293ft cells to evaluate the infectivity rate of the pvss. the results were analyzed by fluorescent microscopy, flow cytometry and atomic force microscopy. results: the results showed that the hpv18 l1/l2 coding plasmid and the pegfp-n1 reporter plasmid have been successfully co-transfected into hek 293ft cells and the pvss were constructed. the 293ft cells were successfully transduced by pvss that had packaged reporter plasmid. these findings were confirmed by fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry as well as afm imaging. conclusion: in this study, the cotransfection of hpv18 l1/l2 coding plasmid as well as pegp-n1 reporter plasmid into the hek 293ft cell led to the assembly of the pseudovirion harboring the reporter gene. the protocols used in this study were easy to perform and relatively inexpensive and did not rely on the commercial kits.

متن کاملVimentin Modulates Infectious Internalization of Human Papillomavirus 16 Pseudovirions
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the most common viral infection of the reproductive tract, with virtually all cases of cervical cancer being attributable to infection by oncogenic HPVs. However, the exact mechanism and receptors used by HPV to infect epithelial cells are controversial. The current entry model suggests that HPV initially attaches to heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) ...
متن کاملPrevalence and Genotype Distribution of Human Papillomavirus in a Population of Iranian Men
Background and purpose: Human papillomavirus (HPV) often infects humans through sexual contact. Men are carriers of the HPV virus and inadvertently transmit the virus to their sexual partners while being asymptomatic. In many countries strategies are focused on controlling the virus in women and the role of men is ignored. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of HPV infection a...

Lack of permissive and productive cell cultures for the human papillomaviruses (HPVs) has hindered the study of virus-neutralizing antibodies and infection. We developed a cell-free system generating infectious HPV16 pseudovirions. HPV16 L1/L2 capsids, which had been self-assembled in insect cells (Sf9) expressing virion proteins L1 and L2, were disassembled with 2-mercaptoethanol (2-ME), a red...

Introduction: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the main causative agent of cervical cancer worldwide leading to a big health problem, especially in the developing countries. Among 14 common high-risk genotypes, HPV16 accounts for more than 50% of all cervical cancers. The current prophylactic vaccines against HPV infection are based on L1 protein. Due to some drawbacks in the current vaccines such...
متن کاملPresence of Human Papillomavirus -16 and -18 Among Women with Breast Cancer in Isfahan Province
Background: Various studies proposed virus infection is to be a possible cause of human breast cancer. However, the data argue the association between virus and cancer are inconsistent. This study was conducted to detect whether HPV-DNA is present in tissue samples of breast cancer in Isfahan province. Materials and Methods: Paraffin embedded formalin fixed specimens were prepared from 40 brea...
