Human Papillomavirus 16 (HPV 16) and HPV 18 Antibody Responses Measured by Pseudovirus Neutralization and Competitive Luminex Assays in a Two- versus Three-Dose HPV Vaccine Trial
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Human papillomavirus 16 (HPV 16) and HPV 18 antibody responses in a 2- versus 3-dose HPV vaccine (Gardasil) trial were measured by a pseudovirus neutralizing antibody (PsV NAb) assay and by the Merck competitive Luminex immunoassay (cLIA). Eight hundred twenty-four female subjects assigned to three dosing regimens (group 1, 9 to 13 years old; 2 doses, months 0 and 6 [n = 259]; group 2, 9 to 13 years old; 3 doses, months 0, 2, and 6 [n = 260]; group 3, 16 to 26 years old; 3 doses, months 0, 2, and 6 [n = 305]) had postvaccine responses assessed 1 month after the last dose. Of 791 subjects with baseline and 7-month sera, 15 (1.9%) and 9 (1.1%) were baseline seropositive for HPV 16 and HPV 18, respectively. All baseline-seronegative vaccinees seroconverted to both HPV 16 and HPV 18. Mean anti-HPV 16 levels were similar for groups 1 and 2 (for PsV NAb, P = 0.675; for cLIA, P = 0.874), and levels for both groups 1 and 2 were approximately 2-fold higher than that for group 3 (for PsV NAb and cLIA, P < 0.001). Mean anti-HPV 18 levels were approximately 1.4-fold lower in group 1 than in group 2 (for PsV, NAb P = 0.013; for cLIA, P = 0.001), and levels for both groups 1 and 2 were approximately 2.0- to 2.5-fold higher than that for group 3 (for PsV NAb and cLIA, P < 0.001). Pearson correlation coefficients for the assays were 0.672 for HPV 16 and 0.905 for HPV 18. Most of the discordant results were observed at lower cLIA signals. These results suggest that the PsV NAb assay could be a suitable alternative to cLIA for the measurement of postvaccine antibody responses.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
