  1. 16. Tonsillar cancer : incidence, prevalence of HPV and survival

    Författare :Lalle Hammarstedt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Since human papilloma virus (HPV) in the mid 1980ies was first observed in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, its role and impact, especially on oral and oropharyngeal cancer, have attracted extensive interest. The aim of this thesis was to investigate if the clinical impression of increased incidence of tonsillar cancer was true, and if HPV could be linked to this increase. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Human Papillomavirus vaccination: Immunological and epidemiological studies

    Författare :Janka Ryding; Malmö Klinisk mikrobiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ELISA ; Human Papillomavirus HPV ; parallel line method PLL ; mathematical modeling; virus-like particles VLPs ; prevalence; serology;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis has evaluated the immunological- and epidemiological aspects of human papillomavirus transmission dynamics and its effect on circumcision. Effective prophylactic vaccines are based on type-specific neutralizing antibodies. A major neutralizing epitope is defined by the monoclonal antibody H16.V5. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Immunological responses in genital HPV infections and etiology of cervical cancer

    Författare :Lisen Arnheim; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :HPV; CIN; cervical cancer; antibodies; KIRs; CXCL8; IFN-gamma; Chlamydia trachomatis;

    Sammanfattning : Cervical cancer is one of the most common forms of cancers in women. Every year approximately 450,000 women are diagnosed worldwide and 200,000 die. The sexually transmitted oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) types are established as the major etiological agents of cancer of the cervix. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Cervical carcinoma in Kampala, Uganda, and the relationship with human immunodeficiency virus and human papillomavirus infections

    Författare :Michael Odida; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :HPV; Human Papillomaviruses; women; HIV; Uganda; invasive cervical cancer;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: Cervical carcinoma is the commonest tumour in Ugandan women. However, very little is known in the Ugandan population about HPV types associated with invasive cervical cancer, the relative risk of cervical cancer associated with different HPV types, and whether the risk of cervical cancer associated with HPV infection is modified by HIV infection.

  7. 20. Cellular and Viral Factors that Control Human Papillomavirus Type 16 Late Gene Expression

    Författare :Monika Somberg; Stefan Schwartz; Sheila Graham; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Virology; Virologi; Medical Virology; Medicinsk virologi;

    Sammanfattning : Human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) is the major cause of cervical cancer. We speculate that inhibition of HPV-16 late gene expression is a prerequisite for establishment of persistence and progression to cervical cancer. LÄS MER
