Human Papilloma Virus A recently published article stated that >90% of cervical cancers can be attributed to HPV therefore various pharmaceutical giants are developing a vaccine... etc. etc. etc. Now excuse my ignorance (microbiologist!), one can presume the vaccine promotes the production of anti HPV antibodies in the blood stream! Conversely then, instead of conducting smears, could one not just perform an ELISA test (or similar) to detect HPV antibodies (on non vaccinated individuals). Positive results = cervical cancer! Am I right or just plain stupid? Please correct me!!! Regards Andy ****************************************** Anti-Spam Campaign - Remove "so" from email address
