Abstract: Mosaic VLPs of viral capsid proteins from different virus types are described, as are methods of making the same. Specifically, a diploid yeast strain that coexpresses the L1 and L2 capsid proteins of both HPV-6 and HPV-16 as mosaic VLPs is described. The mosaic VLPs induced the production of conformational antibodies against both L1 proteins upon administration to mice.

Abstract: The presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) in a sample can be detected and the HPV typed by a method that involves the amplification of HPV DNA sequences by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The primers used in the method are consensus primers that can be used to amplify a particular region of the genome of any HPV. The presence of HPV in a sample is indicated by the formation of amplified DNA. The HPV nucleic acid is detected by consensus probes that may be short oligonucleotide probes or long generic probes. The HPV is typed by the use of type-specific DNA probes specific for the amplified region of DNA.

Abstract: An extraction composition is useful for lysing chlamydial, gonococcal or herpes organisms and extracting detectable antigen from the organisms. In particular, this composition has a high pH (at least about 8) and comprises an alcoholamine which is effective in extracting antigen. It is particularly useful for extracting either or both of the lipopolysaccharide and major outer membrane protein chlamydial antigens.
