    摘要: The invention belongs to the fields of medicine and immunology, particularly, the field of immunological diagnosis. In particular, the invention discloses a method for assessing whether a subject is at risk of developing human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) active infection and a kit therefor. The method comprises the steps of: (1) determining the level of an antibody against a HCMV protein in a body fluid sample from the subject; and (2) comparing the level with a predetermined reference value, wherein if the level is below the predetermined reference value, the subject is determined to be at risk of developing HCMV active infection. In addition, the invention also discloses a method for screening a candidate drug which is capable of improving the ability of a subject to resist human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) active infection, and a kit therefor.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a mutated HPV18 L1 protein (or a variant thereof), a sequence encoding the same, a method for preparing the same, and a virus-like particle comprising the same, wherein the protein (or a variant thereof) and the virus-like particle can induce the generation of neutralizing antibodies against at least two HPV types (for example, HPV18 and HPV45, or HPV18, HPV45 and HPV59), and therefore can be used to prevent infection by said at least two HPV types, and a disease caused by said infection, such as cervical cancer and condyloma acuminatum. The invention further relates to the use of the protein and the virus-like particle in the manufacture of a pharmaceutical composition or a vaccine for preventing infection by said at least two HPV types, and a disease caused by said infection, such as cervical cancer and condyloma acuminatum.
