Abstract
Method for detection of infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) for diagnostic purposes, particularly for diagnosing carcinoma, or pre-stages thereof, or the risk of development of carcinoma. The detection is effected on a body fluid, particularly on a secretion from cervix uteri, by ascertaining the presence of IgA, IgG and IgM antibodies against papillomavirus virions, including individual virion proteins or peptides thereof, in the body fluid.
