Introduction | Papillomaviruses are double-stranded DNA viruses that infect various animals, including turtles, fish, snakes, mice, chimpanzees, and humans. Most Human Papillomaviruses (HPV) are relatively harmless, leading to asymptomatic infections or various kinds of warts. HPV-16 is more dangerous; the lesions it causes to the genital and anal areas are precancerous, where an additional injury (such as Herpes Simplex Virus 2 infection, usage of hormonal contraceptives, or smoking) can lead to cancer. HPV is the most common sexually-transmitted infection, and while there is no specific treatment for it, vaccines have been developed against to prevent infection. |

Note | This product is for research use only. The range and sensitivity is subject to change. Please contact us for the latest product information. For accurate results, sample concentrations must be diluted to mid-range of the kit. If you require a specific range, please contact us in advance or write your request in your order comments. Please note that our ELISA and CLIA kits are optimised for detection of native samples, rather than recombinant proteins. We are unable to guarantee detection of recombinant proteins, as they may have different sequences or tertiary structures to the native protein. |
