Recombinant Human Papillomavirus 11

Source: E.Coli. Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are a group family with more than 150 related viruses. HP 6 and 11 considered as low-risk HPVs can be sexually transmitted, causing warts to emerge on or around the genitals or anus, known as condylomata acuminate. HPV 11 major/large capsid antigen is used in clinical diagnosis to test the specific antibody to this virus-induced by the virus infection, the positive reaction of this antibody is deemed as a marker for present and past infection. Furthermore, HPV 11 large capsid is used as a potential candidate for vaccine development. Recombinant HPV-11 antigen is a 58.1kDa protein covering the full length of HPV-11 major capsid, its N-terminus is fused with a GST tag, having a total molecular weight of 84kDa. The HPV-11 was purified by proprietary chromatographic technique.
