</p><p><bold><italic>Methods.</italic></bold> Using Poisson regression, we compared risk of newly detected infection and cervical abnormalities associated with HPV-16/18 between seronegative vs seropositive women (15–25 years) in the control arm (DNA negative at baseline for the corresponding HPV type [HPV-16: n = 8193; HPV-18: n = 8463]).</p><p><bold><italic>Results.</italic></bold> High titers of naturally acquired HPV-16 antibodies and/or linear trend for increasing antibody levels were significantly associated with lower risk of incident and persistent infection, atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance or greater (ASCUS+), and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grades 1/2 or greater (CIN1+, CIN2+). For HPV-18, although seropositivity was associated with lower risk of ASCUS+ and CIN1+, no association between naturally acquired antibodies and infection was demonstrated. Naturally acquired HPV-16 antibody levels of 371 (95% confidence interval [CI], 242–794), 204 (95% CI, 129–480), and 480 (95% CI, 250–5756) EU/mL were associated with 90% reduction of incident infection, 6-month persistent infection, and ASCUS+, respectively.</p><p><bold><italic>Conclusions.</italic></bold> Naturally acquired antibodies to HPV-16, and to a lesser extent HPV-18, are associated with some reduced risk of subsequent infection and cervical abnormalities associated with the same HPV type.</p></div></front><back><div1

For HPV-18, although seropositivity was associated with lower risk of ASCUS+ and CIN1+, no association between naturally acquired antibodies and infection was demonstrated. Naturally acquired HPV-16 antibody levels of 371 (95% confidence interval [CI], 242–794), 204 (95% CI, 129–480), and 480 (95% CI, 250–5756) EU/mL were associated with 90% reduction of incident infection, 6-month persistent infection, and ASCUS+, respectively.</p><p><bold><italic>Conclusions.</italic></bold> Naturally acquired antibodies to HPV-16, and to a lesser extent HPV-18, are associated with some reduced risk of subsequent infection and cervical abnormalities associated with the same HPV type.</p></abstract><kwd-group><kwd>HPV</kwd><kwd>naturally acquired antibodies</kwd><kwd>infection</kwd><kwd>cervical abnormality</kwd><kwd>risk reduction</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body><p><related-article related-article-type="article-reference" id="d35e752" vol="210" page="507" ext-link-type="pmc"><bold>(See the editorial commentary by Franceschi and Baussano on pages 507–9.)</bold></related-article></p><p>Human papillomavirus (HPV) types 16 and 18 cause approximately 70% of invasive cervical cancer worldwide [<xref rid="JIU139C1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>]. Two prophylactic vaccines against HPV infection are available and have been shown to prevent persistent HPV infection and precancerous cervical abnormalities associated with HPV-16/18 [<xref rid="JIU139C2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>–<xref rid="JIU139C6" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>].</p><p>Approximately 50%–70% of women develop serum antibodies after naturally acquired infection with HPV-16 or HPV-18 [<xref rid="JIU139C7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>–<xref rid="JIU139C13" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>]. Naturally acquired antibodies can remain detectable for at least 4–5 years, albeit at much lower levels than those induced by vaccination [<xref rid="JIU139C14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>]. Whereas some studies have not shown an immune protection role for naturally acquired antibodies [<xref rid="JIU139C15" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>–<xref rid="JIU139C18" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>], others have shown that they may provide protection against future infection [<xref rid="JIU139C19" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>–<xref rid="JIU139C21" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>]. Underpowering of studies and differences in methodology may explain these discrepancies. In addition, the levels of naturally acquired antibodies that may provide protection have not yet been established.</p><p>Vaccine efficacy data from the Papilloma Trial Against Cancer in Young Adults (PATRICIA) of the HPV-16/18 AS04-adjuvanted vaccine (Cervarix®) have been reported previously [<xref rid="JIU139C3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>, <xref rid="JIU139C22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>–<xref rid="JIU139C24" ref-type="bibr">24</xref>]. The intensive follow-up of the control arm of large vaccine trials provides an opportunity to evaluate the natural history of HPV infection, including the impact of naturally induced antibodies on infection and cervical abnormalities. The present paper describes an analysis of the risk of newly detected HPV infection and development of cervical abnormalities according to the baseline level of naturally acquired antibodies to HPV-16 or HPV-18 in women from the control group of PATRICIA over a 4-year follow-up.</p><sec sec-type="methods" id="s2"><title>METHODS</title><p>This analysis was based on data obtained from the control arm of the multinational (14 countries), double-blind, randomized , controlled PATRICIA trial. The objective was to investigate whether naturally acquired antibodies to HPV-16 or HPV-18 reduced the risk of newly detected infection and/or associated cervical abnormalities with the same HPV type.</p><sec id="s2a"><title>Study Population and Procedures</title><p>The clinical trial methodology has been described in detail [<xref rid="JIU139C3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>, <xref rid="JIU139C22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>]. Women aged 15–25 years with no more than 6 lifetime sexual partners were enrolled and randomized to the HPV-16/18 AS04-adjuvanted vaccine or control hepatitis A vaccine (both supplied by GlaxoSmithKline Vaccines, Rixensart, Belgium). Data from the control arm are reported here. Cervical liquid-based cytology samples were collected at baseline and every 6 months and used to perform HPV DNA typing every 6 months and for cytopathological examination (Bethesda system) every 12 months. A prespecified algorithm for abnormal cytology and colposcopy referral was used [<xref rid="JIU139C23" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>]. Cervical samples and biopsy material were tested for HPV DNA as previously described [<xref rid="JIU139C25" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>]. Serum antibodies to HPV-16 and HPV-18 were determined at baseline by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) targeting L1-based virus-like particles (VLPs) [<xref rid="JIU139C26" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>]. Seropositivity was defined as an antibody level greater than or equal to the assay threshold: 8 ELISA units (EU)/mL for HPV-16 and 7 EU/mL for HPV-18 [<xref rid="JIU139C26" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>].</p><p>Endpoints were incident infection (which may include newly acquired infections and recurrent infections present below detection levels at baseline), 6- and 12-month persistent infection, atypical squamous cell of undetermined significance or greater (ASCUS+), cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) grade 1 or greater (CIN1+), and CIN grade 2 or greater (CIN2+) associated with HPV-16 or HPV-18. All CIN cases were reviewed by an independent endpoint committee [<xref rid="JIU139C22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>]. Women completed a behavioral questionnaire, which asked about experience with sexual intercourse (age at first sexual intercourse and number of partners over the past 12 months) and lifetime tobacco exposure at the second study visit, 1 month after the first vaccination, and yearly thereafter. The term sexual intercourse included penetrative, genital-to-genital, or oral–genital sexual contact.</p><p>Written informed consent or assent was obtained and the protocol and other materials were approved by local independent ethics committees or institutional review boards. The trial was carried out in accordance with the Code of Ethics of the World Medical Association (Declaration of Helsinki) and is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov under registration number NCT00122681.</p></sec><sec id="s2b"><title>Statistical Analysis</title><sec id="s2b1"><title>Analysis Cohort</title><p>The analysis was performed in the control group of the total vaccinated cohort for efficacy, including women who received at least 1 dose of control vaccine and had normal or low-grade cytology at baseline. The analysis included only women who had potentially been exposed to HPV infection via sexual intercourse and those without current HPV infections at baseline (Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="JIU139F1">1</xref>). Thus, only newly detected infections (new infections or possibly recurrent infections present below detectable levels at baseline) were accounted for in the analysis.

Serostatus was analyzed as (1) a binary variable (seropositive or seronegative) according to ELISA assay threshold, and (2) according to quartiles in seropositive women (8–12, >12–21, >21–59, and >59–2805 EU/mL for HPV-16; 7–10, >10–17, >17–43, and >43–1086 EU/mL for HPV-18). We report both univariate and multivariable analyses. Based on established risk factors known to influence the risk of HPV infection, and a previous analysis of risk factors for HPV infection and cervical abnormalities in the PATRICIA study [<xref rid="JIU139C27" ref-type="bibr">27</xref>], the following covariates were taken into account in the multivariable analyses: marital status, tobacco exposure (number of pack-years), age at first sexual intercourse, number of sexual partners, history of sexually transmitted infection (STI), at least 1 previous pregnancy, and region. Other covariates known to influence the risk of HPV infection were not included in the multivariable analyses because of strong correlations with the above covariates: condom use was correlated with STI, age at first sexual intercourse was correlated with age at baseline, and at least 1 previous pregnancy was correlated with at least 1 delivery. The hazard ratio estimates were found to be very similar using both approaches, and therefore discussion of the results focuses on the multivariable analyses.</p></sec></sec><sec id="s2c"><title>General Statistical Considerations and Multivariable Regression Analyses</title><p>All analyses were performed using SAS version 9.2. The incidence rate was calculated as the number of incident events divided by the total person-time. Person-years were calculated as the sum of the follow-up for each participant expressed in years. The follow-up period started on the day after first vaccination and ended on the first occurrence of the endpoint or the last visit (whichever occurred first).</p><p>The relationship between the exposure variables and the risk of newly detected infection or cervical abnormalities was assessed using Poisson regression analyses. First, the effect of the exposure variables on the endpoints was evaluated based on the relative incidence rates (rate ratios) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) obtained by Poisson regression. The final multivariable analysis allowed estimation of the relative role of initial HPV-16 or HPV-18 serostatus while adjusting for the simultaneous effects of the 7 covariates selected as potential confounders. Only subjects with no missing data were included in the multivariable analyses; however, the analyses were also performed taking into account missing data as a specific category for each covariate. The results were very similar (data not shown).</p><p>Second, the relationship between the risk of newly detected infection or cervical abnormalities and the baseline antibody level was analyzed using Poisson regression including antibody titer as a continuous variable. Seronegative women were assigned a value of half the ELISA assay cutoff level. Predicted antibody titers corresponding to a 50%, 70%, and 90% risk reduction were derived. Age at first sexual intercourse and smoking were included as covariates in a sensitivity analysis. Because of the large proportion (85%) of seronegative subjects at baseline, sensitivity analyses including a subset of 100 randomly selected seronegative subjects were also carried out.</p></sec></sec><sec sec-type="results" id="s3"><title>RESULTS</title><sec id="s3a"><title>Participant Characteristics at Study Entry</title><p>A total of 8193 (1246 HPV-16 seropositive [15.2%] and 6947 HPV-16 seronegative [84.8%]) and 8463 (916 HPV-18 seropositive [10.8%] and 7547 HPV-18 seronegative [89.2%]) women were included in the analysis of HPV-16– and HPV-18–related endpoints, respectively (Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="JIU139F1">1</xref>; Table <xref ref-type="table" rid="JIU139TB1">1</xref>).

The results show that women with higher levels of naturally acquired antibodies to HPV-16 detected using an L1-based VLP assay had a lower risk of a subsequent newly detected infection or cervical abnormality associated with HPV-16. There was a similar effect for HPV-18, although the association was weaker and the relationship between the antibody level against HPV-18 L1-based VLPs and newly detected infection and associated abnormalities was not significant.</p><p>There was a clear pattern of reduced risk of a newly detected incident infection, persistent infection, ASCUS+, or CIN1+ associated with HPV-16 as baseline antibody levels rose, and the linear trend by antibody quartile was significant for all endpoints. Only the highest level of natural antibodies reduced new CIN1+ associated with HPV-16, whereas natural antibodies above the median (21 EU/mL) reduced the occurrence of ASCUS+. The evidence was less clear for CIN2+, due to fewer cases, but the linear trend by antibody quartile was also significant.</p><p>The present results did not show a reduced risk of infection or disease with higher levels of HPV-18 antibodies. However, the analysis of HPV-18 serostatus (positive vs negative) showed some evidence for a reduced incidence of ASCUS+ and, with a lower number of cases, of CIN1+ among seropositive women, suggesting that naturally acquired HPV-18 antibodies might play some protective role in the prevention of associated abnormalities. The same analyses for HPV-31, HPV-33, and HPV-45, which are closely related to HPV-16 or HPV-18, did not show a significant association (data not shown); these analyses were, however, severely limited by the low number of related cases.</p><p>It was interesting to note the very similar results obtained with the univariate and multivariable models. A number of covariates were taken into account in the multivariable analyses, based on established risk factors known to influence the risk of HPV infection, but results were independent of potential confounders accounted for. The similarity of the two approaches reinforces the robustness of the results. As expected, no cases of cervical cancer were seen, due to the young age of women in the study and the intensive follow-up for CIN2 detection.</p><p>Several studies have been unable to draw clear conclusions regarding the role of naturally acquired antibodies in preventing subsequent HPV infection [<xref rid="JIU139C15" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>–<xref rid="JIU139C19" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>, <xref rid="JIU139C28" ref-type="bibr">28</xref>]. However, the findings of the Costa Rica Vaccine Trial indicated that women with antibody titers in the highest tertile for HPV-16 and HPV-18 (≥60 and ≥28 EU/mL, respectively) had a significantly lower risk of an incident cervical infection with the same HPV type [<xref rid="JIU139C20" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>]. Although the analyses of the Costa Rica Vaccine Trial and our study were conducted in a similar way, used the same ELISA technique, and controlled for similar demographic and behavioral characteristics, there are some differences, including subjects' age (18–25 years in the Costa Rica Vaccine Trial), and a wider geographic distribution and higher number of subjects in our study, which gave our study a greater power to identify significant effects. In addition, for the women included in the control arms, HPV-16 and HPV-18 DNA was detected in 8.6% and 3.1%, respectively, of women in the Costa Rica Vaccine Trial, compared with 5.2% and 2.3% in our study. Similarly, HPV-16 and HPV-18 seroprevalence was lower in our study (15.2% and 10.8%, respectively) than in the Costa Rica Vaccine Trial (25% for both HPV-16 and HPV-18). These differences may indicate that women in the Costa Rica Vaccine Trial might have been more likely to have had a past exposure to HPV and thus more time to mount a natural antibody response. Our results extend those of the Costa Rica Vaccine trial to persistent infection, ASCUS+, CIN1+, and CIN2+.</p><p>The present study is the first to demonstrate a statistically significant quantitative relationship between titers of naturally acquired antibodies to HPV-16 and the incidence of newly detected and 6-month persistent HPV-16 infection and HPV-16-associated ASCUS+. Antibody titers of approximately 370, 204, and 480 EU/mL were associated with a 90% risk reduction of incident infection, 6-month persistent infection, and ASCUS+, respectively. However, these values do not represent correlates of protection with regard to antibody levels induced by vaccination, because there are certainly some differences between naturally acquired vs vaccine-induced antibody production. For example, the mechanism of exposure of the immune system to HPV antigens via vaccination allows induction of a higher antibody level. In PATRICIA, antibody titer 1 month after the full vaccination course was 9341.5 (95% CI, 8760.4–9961.1) and 4769.6 (95% CI, 4491.2–5065.3) EU/mL for HPV-16 and HPV-18 antibodies, respectively [<xref rid="JIU139C22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>]. Antibody properties such as affinity, avidity, and specificity may also be different. In addition, naturally acquired HPV infections potentially enable broad exposure of many HPV-specific proteins during the virus life cycle, unlike HPV vaccines based on L1 VLPs. Thus, natural infections are likely not restricted to the generation of L1 antibody responses but would be expected to include a spectrum of HPV-specific cell-mediated and humoral immune responses that could contribute to reduction in new infection.</p><p>In the Costa Rica vaccine study, the HPV-16 antibody titer at 48 months after 1 dose was 137 EU/mL; the 90th percentile was 703 EU/mL [<xref rid="JIU139C29" ref-type="bibr">29</xref>]. In the present study, the HPV-16 antibody levels producing a 90% reduction in incident infection, 6-month persistent infection, and ASCUS+ were, respectively, 371 EU/mL, 204 EU/mL, and 480 EU/mL. Corresponding values for a 70% reduction were 194 EU/mL, 107 EU/mL, and 251 EU/mL. These estimates might be useful as we move toward understanding minimal levels of HPV protective antibodies.</p><p>Analyses of PATRICIA and the Costa Rica Vaccine Trial strongly suggest that higher levels of naturally acquired antibodies play a role in preventing newly detected HPV infections and associated abnormalities. Although a correlate of protection for vaccine-induced antibodies cannot firmly be inferred, as described above, it is worth noting that the levels that appear to be associated with some reduction of risk are considerably below the levels of vaccine-induced antibodies found in clinical trials of the HPV-16/18 vaccine in which protection against CIN2+, CIN3+, and adenocarcinoma in situ has been demonstrated [<xref rid="JIU139C2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>, <xref rid="JIU139C3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>, <xref rid="JIU139C22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>, <xref rid="JIU139C23" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>], and also considerably below the levels sustained up to 8.4 years after vaccination [<xref rid="JIU139C30" ref-type="bibr">30</xref>].</p><p>The analysis had some unavoidable limitations. We do not know when women were exposed to HPV infection prior to the study, so we could not distinguish whether the antibody level at baseline was the peak from a recent exposure, or had declined over time from a higher level. Many women with HPV infection never develop detectable antibodies [<xref rid="JIU139C7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>–<xref rid="JIU139C13" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>, <xref rid="JIU139C31" ref-type="bibr">31</xref>, <xref rid="JIU139C32" ref-type="bibr">32</xref>], so some seronegative women may have been previously exposed to infection. These women may have mounted a cell-mediated immune response against HPV, which may have reduced the risk of CIN2+ development. This could have underestimated the protective effect. However, this limitation would not apply to the observation of increasing protection with titer. A further limitation is that it is not possible to distinguish between reinfection (a new HPV infection) and recurrence of an existing infection that was quiescent or had persisted at an undetectable level. It has been shown that women can experience recurrence of a type-specific infection after a period of nondetection [<xref rid="JIU139C33" ref-type="bibr">33</xref>]. Our findings suggest that the reduction of risk associated with naturally acquired antibodies might apply to both new and recurrent HPV infections. We have focused on ASCUS+ and CIN1+ as cervical abnormalities because few CIN2+ cases were detected. However, the limited utility of ASCUS+ and CIN1+ as disease-related endpoints should be noted.</p><p>The quality of the serologic assay is important in classifying women as previously exposed or unexposed, and measurement of the antibody response is dependent upon the assay, its specificity, and the cutoff value. There is variability in the measurement of the lower antibody titers as shown in the quantitative models (Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="JIU139F4">4</xref><italic>A</italic> and <xref ref-type="fig" rid="JIU139F4">4</xref><italic>B</italic>). Therefore, some women with antibody levels close to the threshold value could have been misclassified as seropositive or seronegative. The ELISA assay used in PATRICIA and the Costa Rica study has two disadvantages [<xref rid="JIU139C34" ref-type="bibr">34</xref>]: it potentially measures nonneutralizing antibodies (which would not be protective as neutralizing antibodies are likely to form the main basis for vaccine-induced protection against HPV infection), and it detects reactivity only to antibodies of the immunoglobulin G class (thus protection conferred by other antibody classes is not evaluated). These problems can be overcome by the pseudovirion-based neutralization assay (PBNA), which measures only potentially protective neutralizing antibodies of all immunoglobulin classes [<xref rid="JIU139C26" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>, <xref rid="JIU139C34" ref-type="bibr">34</xref>]; however, this assay is currently too laborious for routine use in large clinical trials. Notably, a good correlation has been found between the PBNA and the ELISA assay for titers of vaccine-induced antibodies to HPV-16 and HPV-18 [<xref rid="JIU139C26" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>] and for titers of naturally acquired antibodies to HPV-16 [<xref rid="JIU139C35" ref-type="bibr">35</xref>].</p><p>In conclusion, this study confirms the utility of control arm data from vaccine efficacy trials in understanding acquisition and progression of HPV infections and related cervical abnormalities. The results suggest that naturally acquired antibodies to HPV-16, and to a lesser extent HPV-18, reduce the risk of subsequent infection and associated cervical abnormalities with the same HPV type.</p></sec><sec sec-type="supplementary-material" id="s5"><title>Supplementary Data</title><p><ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://jid.oxfordjournals.org/lookup/suppl/doi:10.1093/infdis/jiu139/-/DC1">Supplementary materials</ext-link> are available at <italic>The Journal of Infectious Diseases</italic> online (<uri xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="http://jid.oxfordjournals.org/">http://jid.oxfordjournals.org/</uri>).
