Female reproductive Tract Anatomy & Histology Initiation Site of Cervical Cancers
Transformation Zones in Other HPV Cancers Anal cancer also occur at the transformation zone.HPV Infections of the vulvar, vagina and penis are common.Cancers at these site are relatively rare.They lack a transformation zone.
Cervical Cancer Develop at the Transition ZoneBetween Squamous and Columnar Epithelium
Rate HPV Precancer Cancer 15 y.o. 30 y.o. 45 y.o. Age Time Line of Cervical HPV InfectionsAnd Progession to Cervical Cancer • Lifetime incidence of genital HPV infection >80% in U.S. • Most infections clear spontaneously, eliminating cancer risk for that infection. • Persistent infection with a high-risk HPV, especially HPV16 or 18, is the single most important risk factor for progression to precancer and cancer.

Therapeutic vs Prophylactic HPV Vaccines • Therapeutic vaccine attractive since Cervical CA develops slowly from well defined and routinely identified viral lesions. E6 and E7 expressed. • Approved vaccines against other viral infections are preventive (based on neutralizing antibodies), not therapeutic (based on cell mediated immune responses). • We initially concentrated on Prophylactic Vaccines
Live Attenuated Viruses Are Not SuitableFor an HPV Prophylactic Vaccine• Papillomavirus cannot be efficiently grown in cultured cells• The viral genomes contain oncogenes• Virion protein-based subunit vaccines are preferable, if they could efficiently induce neutralizing antibodies.
Papillomaviruses Encode Two Structural Proteins Papillomavirus Particle • L1: the major structural protein. Each viral particle has 360 copies in 72 pentamers. • L2: the minor structural protein. Up to 72 copies per particle. L1 L1 L2 L1 L1 L1
Key To the Development of L1 Vaccines IM injection of virions, but not denatured L1 or L1 pepptides, induced protection from experimental infection in animal models. Generating an immunogen with conformationally correct L1 was critical.

United States: Incidence and Distribution of Cancers Attributable to HPV Infection●There are about 10,000 cases of cervix cancer and all are HPV cases●There are about 3,000 cases of vulva/vagina cancer and 50% are HPV cases ●There are about 3,000 cases of anus cancer and 90% are HPV cases ●There are about 500 cases of penis cancer and 20% are HPV cases ●There are about 8,000 cases of oropharynx cancer and all are HPV cases
Clinical Trial Evidence for Vaccine EfficacyAgainst Infection/IN at Site. The vaccine is effective against cervix cancer, vulva/vagina cancer, anus cancer and penis cancer but not oropharynx cancer

Conclusions: HPV VLP Vaccine Efficacy • VLP vaccines are highly effective at protection against a spectrum of anogenital HPV endpoints from incident infection to high grade precancer.• Gardasil is also highly protective againstgenital warts in women and men.• Protection is type-restricted, consistent with protection being antibody mediated.• Duration of protection is unknown, but strong protection at 6 years, after antibody levels havereached a plateau, is very encouraging
Who Should Be Vaccinated?In descending order of importance:10-14 year old girls - the ultimate target group since they have not yet been exposed to these sexually transmitted viruses Sexually active women - since many may not yet been exposed to at least one of the vaccine types; may reduce transmission - increase herd immunity Adolescent boys and men - only 8% of HPV cancer in men; may be small impact on herd immunity if coverage of women high; most models suggest male vaccination would not be cost effective
