Humoral Immune Response to Oncogenic Papillomavirus Types 16, 31, and 58 among Colombian Women with Normal Cytology
Keywords:
Uterine cervical neoplasms, papilloma, antibodies, natural historyAbstract
Objective: To profile IgG and IgA response to the VLP ( virus-like particles) of the human papillomaviruses (HPV) 16, 31 and 58 and to assess the possibility that they may be related to eliminating infection.
Methods: A group of 186 women with normal cytology, participants in a cohort study on the natural history of HPV infection, were selected. Three groups were evaluated: control (DNA HPV, n=146 negative), elimination (positive at outset and negative during follow-up, n=25), and persistance (positive during follow-up, n=15). The IgG and IgA antibodies against HPV-VLP 16, 31, and 58 were submitted to ELISA analysis.
Results: During the initial visit greater IgG antibody seroprevalence against HPV16-VLP was observed among the elimination group. This prevalence was combined with greater antibody levels in this group in comparison with the levels found among members of the persistence (mean DO405 nm 0.665 vs. 0.290, respectively). In contrast, during the fifth visit, there was greater IgG antibody seroprevalence against HPV-PLV 16 and 58 among the persistance group (p=0.001 and p=0.003, respectively). This response correlated with greater anitbody levels on this visit (mean DO 405 nm 0.653 and 0.532, respectively) in comparison with the antibody levels observed on the first visit (mean DO 405 nm 0.290 and0.362, respectively).
Conclusion: High levels of IgG antibodies working against HPV 16 and 58 during infection phase may be associated with elimination of infection.
