Abstract
The invention relates to a subunit papillomavirus vaccine which is protective against anogenital human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Peptides are also provided, which constitute an antigenic component of the vaccine. The peptide includes the sequence DRAHYNI (SEQ ID NO:11) and structural homologues thereof which concern a single amino acid substitution. The peptide is linked directly or indirectly to one or more amino acid sequences which correspond to a B epitope HPV16 and HPV18. The DRAHYNI (SEQ ID NO:11) sequence corresponds to a T helper epitope sequence.
