Article Abstract

The HPV Serology Laboratory in the Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research is working in partnership with the scientific community with the goal of standardizing and harmonizing current HPV serology assay platforms in response to the increasing number of immunobridging trials relying on serology data for approval of new vaccine dosing schedules and new formulations. A virtual meeting was held on June 29-30, 2021, to review the progress of the standardization initiative thus far and to bridge scientific gaps and outstanding questions. The main aims and outcomes of the meeting were to discuss: 1) standardization of assays and reagents; 2) International Standard calibration procedures; 3) assay cut-off values; 4) current immunobridging clinical trials; and 5) gaps and challenges in standardization of HPV serology.
