"I don't want to." "Well, sorry. You have to." There is still an emotional battlefield to the HPV vaccine.

Darkfrog submitted, created time 1 year 7 months (www.nature.com)
Most of Ms. Mandavilli's opinion piece on the HPV vaccine is straight-up good sense: "We don't know how long its effects will last yet." "It's being touted, perhaps beyond its worth." She points out a few of the vaccine's less-publicized flaws, namely that it doesn't do much for women who have been sexually active before receiving it. But I worry that opponents of the vaccine could take her words the wrong way, particularly, "We don't know how well it works

"Researchers demonstrated that efficient nuclear import of the human papillomavirus (HPV) type 11 E1 protein depends on a codominant bipartite nuclear localization sequence (NLS) and on phosphorylation of the serine residues S89 and S93 by the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), extracellular signal-regulated kinase, and c-Jun N-terminal protein kinase. The NLS and the MAPK substrates are located within a 50-amino-acid-long peptide near the amino terminus, previously designated the localization regulatory region (LRR)

The American Cancer Society reports a 17% drop in cases of cervical cancer in the United States between 1998 and 2002, which it credits mostly to more widespread use of Pap smears to identify and remove precancerous cells.

The Texas legislature has overruled Governor Perry's decree that all sixth-grade (about eleven years old) girls in Texas must be vaccinated with the HPV vaccine.
