Abstract: A method is described for differentiating in a subject with HPV16 between (i) a severe form of HPV16 infection and (ii) a mild form of HPV16 infection based on determining the amount of a first gene product and a second gene product in a sample of a subject and calculating a ratio of the amount of the first gene product and the amount of the second gene product. A composition is also described, including an oligonucleotide mixture, and also a kit and a device adapted to carry out the described method.

Abstract: The present invention is concerned with the provision of a method for manufacturing papillomavirus like particles (PV-VLP), comprising the steps of a) culturing a host cell lacking protease activity and comprising an expression vector, wherein said expression vector comprises at least one polynucleotide encoding a PV L1 polypeptide, and b) obtaining VLPs from the host cell. Also proposed is a host cell lacking protease activity and comprising an expression vector, wherein said expression vector comprises a polynucleotide encoding at least one PV L1 polypeptide. Furthermore, a method for the manufacture of a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment or prevention of PV-related disease comprising the steps of manufacturing PV-VLPs and the further step of formulating the VLPs as a pharmaceutical composition is proposed as well as an expression vector comprising at least one polynucleotide encoding a PV L1 polypeptide but lacking a functional gene for a v-cath protease.

Abstract: A vaccine against disease caused by papilloma viruses is described in certain embodiments, as well as certain vectors, obtainable by the following methods: (a) one or more expression vectors that contain the DNA code for a structural protein of papilloma viruses or a fragment thereof are injected into mammals, whereby in at least some of the expression vectors randomly generated heterologous sequences are inserted into the DNA code (b) serums are obtained from the mammals and these are tested for the presence of antibodies against particles of various papilloma virus types, and (c) using the serums tested, the structural protein gene clones are identified that code for a polyvalent vaccine, and (d) the vaccine is produced from them. Procedures for producing a vaccine is also described, together with its use for vaccination against diseases caused by papilloma viruses.
