ABSTRACT

Infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) types is involved in early stages of uterine-cervix cancer development. The virally encoded E6 and E7 oncoproteins behave as tumor-specific antigens and represent targets for a vaccine designed to control HPV-induced tumors. Using either proteins or peptides based on E6 and E7 oncoproteins of HPV 16 and 18, phase I clinical trials of therapeutic vaccines against HPV-associated cervical cancer have recently been reported. Although the effectiveness of these vaccines cannot be evaluated in such small studies, they constitute an important step toward the development of therapeutic uterine-cervix cancer vaccines. A polytope DNA vaccination approach combined with immunomodulatory cytokines may offer an excellent strategy to reduce the risk of relapse and metastasis following conventional therapies

ABSTRACT

En el presente trbajo realizamos una revisión de las principales aportaciones, tanto nacionales como extranjeras, de la biología molecular a la psiquiatría. Se describen algunos conceptos fundamentales con el objeto de permitir al lector un entendimiento claro de las aportaciones actuales, y sentar las bases teóricas para el seguimiento de la literatura en el campo. Hasta ahora los hallazgos principales se han dado en las siguientes patologías: trastornos afectivos, esquizofrenia, alcoholismo, ansiedad y psicofarmacología. Finalmente, se describen algunas de las principales innovaciones metodológicas que se están llevando a cabo, y que seguramente se traducirán en la generación de un mayor nivel de conocimiento en cuanto a los mecanismos moleculares etiológicos en la patología mental
