Abstract
Today little is known about the immune response to HPV infections, and no simple and inexpensive method for HPV detection and typing is yet available for mass screening programmes. An alternative to the molecular techniques currently used would be the immunoassays capable of detecting type specific anti-HPV antibodies in sera from patients and healthy subjects.
