Journal ArticleDOI
Herpesvirus type 2: association with carcinoma of the cervix.
TL;DR: By utilizing the kinetics of neutralization, it was found that an antibody response to type 1 and type 2 herpesvirus infection could be independently measured and correlated with type of virus isolated from the patient.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protection against lethal challenge of BALB/c mice by passive transfer of monoclonal antibodies to five glycoproteins of herpes simplex virus type 2.
TL;DR: The results indicate that any of the glycoproteins can serve as antigens for a protective immune response and are compatible with protection being mediated by an antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytolysis mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parity as a risk factor for cervical cancer
Louise A. Brinton,William C. Reeves,Maria M. Brenes,Rolando Herrero,R C de Britton,Eduardo Gaitan,Francisco Tenorio,Mariana Garcia,William E. Rawls +8 more
TL;DR: The results indicate the need for further consideration of reproductive factors on cervical cancer risk, with attention given to possible mechanisms of action, including hormonal factors and cervical trauma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Herpes simplex virus type 2: a possible interaction with human papillomavirus types 16/18 in the development of invasive cervical cancer.
Allan Hildesheim,Valerie Mann,Louise A. Brinton,Moyses Szklo,William C. Reeves,William E. Rawls +5 more
TL;DR: Findings corroborate recent laboratory evidence of a possible biological interaction between HSV‐2 and HPV‐16/18 in the development of cervical cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
The male factor in the etiology of cervical cancer among sexually monogamous women
Louise A. Brinton,William C. Reeves,Maria M. Brenes,Rolando Herrero,Eduardo Gaitan,Francisco Tenorio,Rosa C. de Britton,Mariana Garcia,William E. Rawls +8 more
TL;DR: Evidence from clinical examination indicated that poor genital hygiene may be involved in the etiology of invasive cervical cancer, and low educational status of the husband was an important predictor of risk, possibly indicating the role of unmeasured aspects of sexual behavior.
