Genital human papilloma virus HPV Vaccines - Biotech, Pharma and Life Science Channel
Genital human papilloma virus is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STI). Two vaccines are commercially available to protect females against the types of HPV that cause most cervical cancers. One of these vaccines also protects against most genital warts. Both vaccines are recommended for 11 and 12 year-old girls, and for females 13 through 26 years old, who did not get any or all of the three recommended doses when they were younger. The approved vaccines protect against two or four, respectively, most common types of HPV. A number of further vaccine candidates are in development utilizing various technologies for expression of the antigens and various adjuvants. Some vaccines also are directed against more or different types of HPV or are designed as therapeutic vaccines by induction of T cell immunity.

Dehumanization
The process by which a person or group of persons comes to be regarded or treated as lacking in human qualities.
Embryo Research
Experimentation on, or using the organs or tissues from, a human or other mammalian conceptus during the prenatal stage of development that is characterized by rapid morphological changes and the differentiation of basic structures. In humans, this includes the period from the time of fertilization to the end of the eighth week after fertilization.
Fetal Research
Experimentation on, or using the organs or tissues from, a human or other mammalian conceptus in the postembryonic period, after the major structures have been outlined. In humans, this corresponds to the period from the third month after fertilization until birth.
Genetic Determinism
The theory that human CHARACTER and BEHAVIOR are shaped by the GENES that comprise the individual's GENOTYPE rather than by CULTURE; ENVIRONMENT; and individual choice.
