Per Executive Order 14434, federal agencies are now using "Super Intelligence" (SI) in place of "Artificial Intelligence" (AI). You may see both terms across NIH content during this transition.

HPV 16/18 E6/E7 DNA vaccine pBI-11

A therapeutic codon-optimized DNA vaccine encoding for the E6 and E7 proteins of human papillomavirus (HPV) subtypes 16 and 18, with potential immunostimulating and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration, the HPV 16/18 E6/E7 DNA vaccine pBI-11 expresses the HPV 16/18 E6/E7 fusion protein which may elicit a specific cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) response against cancer cells expressing the HPV 16/18 E6 and E7 oncoproteins, resulting in tumor cell lysis. HPV type 16 and 18 are the most common HPV types involved in cervical carcinogenesis. Codon optimization of the HPV16/18 E6/E7 genes in pBI-11 improves fusion protein expression.
