Detention of HPV L1 Capsid Protein and hTERC Gene in Screening of Cervical Cancer
Objective(s): To investigate the expression of human papilloma virus (HPV) L1 capsid protein, and human telomerase RNA component (hTERC) in cervical cancer and the role of detection of both genes in screening of cervical cancer. Materials and Methods: A total of 309 patients were recruited and cervical exfoliated cells were collected. Immunocytochemistry was employed to detect HPV L1 capsid...
متن کاملHuman Papillomavirus Type16- L1 VLP Production in Insect Cells
Objective(s): Infection by high-risk papillomavirus is regarded as the major risk factor in the development of cervical cancer. Recombinant DNA technology allows expression of the L1 major capsid protein of HPV in different expression systems, which has intrinsic capacity to self-assemble into viral-like particles (VLP). VLPS are non-infectious, highly immunogenic and can elicit neutralizing...
متن کاملEpitope design of L1 protein for vaccine production against Human Papilloma Virus types 16 and 18
Cervical cancer accounts for about two-thirds of all cancer cases linked etiologically to Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). 15 oncogenic HPV types can cause cervical cancer, of which HPV16 and HPV18 combinedly account for about 70% of it. So, effective epitope design for the clinically relevant HPV types 16 and 18 would be of major medical benefit. Here, a comprehensive analysis is carried out to pr...
متن کاملDesign and Cloning of the Optimized L1 Gene from Human Papilloma virus 18 into the Expression Vector PcDNA3 and Evaluating its Expression in a Eukaryotic System
Background: Vaccines have played a special role in controlling and reducing mortality from infectious diseases. In this regard, DNA vaccines were developed to ease the production and reduce the risks of traditional vaccines. Human papillomavirus (HPV) has been introduced as the causing agent of cervical cancer. The capsid protein (L1) of HPV has been used to produce subunit and DNA vaccines. Th...
متن کاملConstruction and evaluation of human papillomavirus genotype 18 pseudovirions
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 expe...
