Established and potential strategies against papillomavirus infections.
Anogenital cancers, in particular cancer of the cervix, and common, genital and laryngeal warts are primarily caused by infection with human papillomaviruses. Traditionally, the primary goal of treatment is to remove the neoplasia by various surgical approaches; however, all of these have high rates of recurrence. Only a few non-surgical treatments have found their way into clinical practice, a...

متن کاملTherapeutic Vaccine Strategies against Human Papillomavirus
High-risk types of human papillomavirus (HPV) cause over 500,000 cervical, anogenital and oropharyngeal cancer cases per year. The transforming potential of HPVs is mediated by viral oncoproteins. These are essential for the induction and maintenance of the malignant phenotype. Thus, HPV-mediated malignancies pose the unique opportunity in cancer vaccination to target immunologically foreign ep...
متن کاملPotential neuroprotective strategies against tauopathy.
Tauopathies are neurodegenerative diseases, including AD (Alzheimer's disease) and FTLD-T (tau-positive frontotemporal lobar degeneration), with shared pathology presenting as accumulation of detergent-insoluble hyperphosphorylated tau deposits in the central nervous system. The currently available treatments for AD address only some of the symptoms, and do not significantly alter the progressi...
متن کاملDNA vaccines: designing strategies against parasitic infections
The complexity of parasitic infections requires novel approaches to vaccine design. The versatility of DNA vaccination provides new perspectives. This review discusses the use of prime-boost immunizations, genetic adjuvants, multivalent vaccines and codon optimization for optimal DNA vaccine design against parasites.
