Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide methods, monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, assays, and kits for detecting HPV infection and HPV related cancer diagnosis, including infection by various HPV genotypes, early and/or late stage HPV-associated or HPV-specific cancers. The anti-HPV antibodies are used in performing immunological assays on clinical samples. Various immunological assays and kits for detecting HPV infection, cervical cancer, other HPV related cancers, early stage precancerous lesions as well as late stage cancer progression are also provided.
Abstract: Methods for quantifying an HPV protein expression in a clinical sample are disclosed. The quantifying methods include the process for obtaining the clinical sample. Such a clinical sample is consisted of a population of cells that are susceptible to infection by an HPV. The quantifying methods also include the process for depositing the clinical sample into a container. The clinical sample is contacted with the first antibody that specifically binds to an HPV protein which is expressed by an HPV-infected cell under a condition that promotes specific binding of the first antibody to the HPV protein expressed by the population of cells. The methods further include the process for quantifying the specific binding of the first antibody and thereby quantifying the HPV protein expression in the clinical sample. The assay provides an objective test to identify patients with high-grade precursor from cytology samples before biopsy.
Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide methods, polyclonal antibodies, monoclonal antibodies, assays, and kits for detecting HPV infection, including infection by various HPV genotypes, early and/or late HPV-associated or HPV-specific proteins or antibodies. Mononoclonal antibodies are used to detect oncogenic high risk and low risk HPV types in a single assay, which is not limited to assay type or format. Useful tools for specific detection of various HPV associated cancers are provided. HPV associated cancer biomarkers are identified and can be used in a screening method for early stage precancerous lesions as well as late stage cancer progression.
Abstract: A method and a kit for determining a disease stage of a papilloma virus infection in a human subject is disclosed. The method comprises: obtaining a sample from said human subject, said sample consisting of a tissue sample comprising proteins or a cell sample comprising proteins; contacting said sample with one or more antibodies that specifically bind to one or more recombinant HPV proteins; determining a presence, absence, or amount of at least one protein in said sample that specifically binds to said antibodies and determining said disease stage of papilloma virus infection in said human subject based on said determined presence, absence, or amount of said one or more proteins.
Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide methods, monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, assays, and kits for detecting HPV infection and HPV related cancer diagnosis, including infection by various HPV genotypes, early and/or late stage HPV-associated or HPV-specific cancers. Various monoclonal antibodies recognizing specific epitope for specific HPV protein or HPV type, common epitope for various HPV proteins or HPV types are obtained. These obtained monoclonal antibodies are useful tools in early clinical detection of HPV infection and general detection of HPV related diseases, specific detection of invasive cervical cancer, detection of other HPV related cancers, early stage precancerous lesions as well as late stage cancer progression.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide methods, monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, assays, and kits for detecting HPV infection and HPV related cancer diagnosis, including infection by various HPV genotypes, early and/or late stage HPV-associated or HPV-specific cancers. Various specific or pan monoclonal antibodies recognizing specific epitope for specific HPV protein or HPV type, or common epitope for various HPV proteins or HPV types are obtained. The invention also provides one or more solid surface to coat the testing cell lysate. Also, the anti-HPV antibody can be coated on the solid surface of the invention to capture HPV proteins and detect HPV infection.
