Overview
Persistent high – risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection causes virtually almost all the cases of cervical cancer. Ability of HPV – L1 capsid protein to form non-infectious virus-like particles was the basis for developing of prophylactic vaccines. They have safety profile, they are highly immunogenic and they have complete type – specific protection against persistent HPV infection and associated lesions in fully vaccinated women.
Key words:
