DIAGNOSIS KIT FOR SKIN TEST AND METHOD FOR CARRYING OUT THE SAME

摘要

A skin test was developed to determine the immune status with regard to viral proteins E6 and E7 from the human papillomavirus. For that purpose, a diagnostic kit is provided which contains an active amount or at least an immunologically active fraction of the proteins E6 and/or E7. Said test consists in intracutaneaous application of the protein E6/E7 and visual examination of the skin portion concerned in an attempt for detecting red spots.
