Preliminary Development and Assessment of a Multiplex Assay for Human Papillomavirus Antibody Detection Using Commercial L1 Proteins

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
This study developed and assessed a new multiplex assay for the simultaneous detection of antibodies against multiple Human Papillomavirus (HPV) types. Using recombinant L1 protein, the assay quantifies IgG and IgA responses in human plasma, enabling comprehensive immune profiling across multiple high‐risk cancer‐associated HPV genotypes. This approach
