ABSTRACT

Objective [WT5”BZ] To study the relationship between human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 and its serum antibody in the development of gastric carcinoma (GC) [WT5”HZ] Methods [WT5”BZ] Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique was used to detect HPV DNA in 42 fresh GC specimens and 42 fresh normal gastric mucosa adjacent to the tumour (NGMAT). Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to screen the serum HPV16 antibody(Ab) of 42 GC patients and 46 controls using HPV16 virus like particles (VLPs) which was produced by recombinant bacilovirus in insect cells [WT5”HZ] Results [WT5”BZ] HPV16 DNA was found in 26 2% (11/42) of GC specimens,but in none (0/42) of NGMAT ( P
