Patient's question:
Female, 30 years old, got the cervical cancer vaccine with friends. She is not very familiar with this vaccine, so she wants to ask how the HPV vaccine works to prevent HPV.Doctor's answer:
A large amount of laboratory and clinical diagnostic test data have demonstrated that the host's autoimmune response to HPV plays a crucial role in controlling HPV infection and related inflammation. HPV precancerous lesions and cervical cancer patients often exhibit a low autoimmune response to HPV. HPV preventive vaccines primarily target the L1 late protein virus-like particles with natural spatial structure as the antigen, inducing the body to produce high-titer serum neutralizing antibodies to neutralize the virus and help tumor-specific attack T lymphocytes to completely eliminate viral infection.
