Human papillomavirus antibody reference reagents for use in postvaccination surveillance serology.

چکیده
Suitably controlled serosurveillance surveys are essential for evaluating human papillomavirus (HPV) immunization programs. A panel of plasma samples from 18-year-old females was assembled, the majority of the samples being from recipients of the bivalent HPV vaccine. Antibody specificities were evaluated by three independent laboratories, and 3 pools that displayed no antibodies to any HPV type tested or intermediate or high levels of antibody to HPV16, HPV18, HPV31, and HPV45 were created. These pools will be useful as control reagents for HPV serology.

متن کاملMultiplex human papillomavirus serology based on in situ-purified glutathione s-transferase fusion proteins.
BACKGROUND More than 100 different human papillomaviruses (HPVs) can cause proliferative diseases, many of which are malignant, such as cervical cancer. HPV serology is complex because infection and disease lead to distinct type-specific antibody responses. Using bead-based technology, we have developed an assay platform that allows the simultaneous detection of antibodies against up to 100 in ...
متن کاملAntibody response following smallpox vaccination and revaccination.
The measurement of antibody following vaccination has been recorded in many publications. The inhibition of vaccinia haemagglutinin, because of its technical simplicity, is a method which has been commonly employed in recent years, although the complement-fixation and neutralization techniques have also been used. Some kind of neutralization test is believed to give a better measure of protecti...

A regional external quality assessment scheme (REQAS) for anti-HIV serology aimed to objectively assess reliability and quality of HIV testing processes in the African region. This involved the distribution of proficiency testing (PT) panels to participating laboratories from 2002 to 2010. During the survey period, this included 16 distributions of PT panels to 49 laboratories in 30 countries, ...
متن کاملA Recombinant Positive Control for Serology Diagnostic Tests Supporting Elimination of Onchocerca volvulus.
BACKGROUND Serological assays for human IgG4 to the Onchocerca volvulus antigen Ov16 have been used to confirm elimination of onchocerciasis in much of the Americas and parts of Africa. A standardized source of positive control antibody (human anti-Ov16 IgG4) will ensure the quality of surveillance data using these tests. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS A recombinant human IgG4 antibody to Ov1...
