Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a major global health challenge and is closely related to the occurrence of diseases such as cervical cancer. Unfortunately, effective treatments are still lacking. In view of the advantages of antibody drugs, antibody-targeted therapy may become one of the means of treatment and prevention of HPV infection. This study explores the potential of antibody-targeted therapy using immunization with HPV nine-valent vaccine in Leghorn chickens. The resulting egg yolk antibodies (IgY) was extracted from eggs using the bitter-ammonium sulfate method and confirmed through SDS-PAGE analysis. The neutralizing titer was performed by pseudovirus-neutralizing antibody experiments, which could reach 1:2000 (18.2 μg/mL). This successful preparation of IgY against HPV 6/11/16/18/31/33/45/52/58-L1 protein showed its potential as a therapeutic agent, particularly post-HPV16 infection. This work lays the groundwork for HPV-specific IgY preparation and contributes to advancing targeted therapies for cervical cancer, prompting further research in HPV-related therapeutic approaches.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Virological Methods focuses on original, high quality research papers that describe novel and comprehensively tested methods which enhance human, animal, plant, bacterial or environmental virology and prions research and discovery.
The methods may include, but not limited to, the study of:
Viral components and morphology-
Virus isolation, propagation and development of viral vectors-
Viral pathogenesis, oncogenesis, vaccines and antivirals-
Virus replication, host-pathogen interactions and responses-
Virus transmission, prevention, control and treatment-
Viral metagenomics and virome-
Virus ecology, adaption and evolution-
Applied virology such as nanotechnology-
Viral diagnosis with novelty and comprehensive evaluation.
We seek articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses and laboratory protocols that include comprehensive technical details with statistical confirmations that provide validations against current best practice, international standards or quality assurance programs and which advance knowledge in virology leading to improved medical, veterinary or agricultural practices and management.
