Detailed Description
40 Patients and 40 controls are enrolled in the study. Participants suffer from chronic recurrent cutaneous and genital warts. Blood samples were withdrawn then whole blood cultures are prepared. Cultures are stimulated with bivalent HPVvaccine. IL-4 and IFN-γ measurement in culture supernatants by ELISA. IL-4 and IFN-γ are investigated to predict the therapeutic response to bivalent HPV vaccine immunotherapy in warts.
