Abstract

A method of treating human papillomavirus (HPV), by administering a therapeutically effective amount of a primary cell-derived biologic to a patient infected with HPV, and inducing an immune response to HPV. A method of overcoming HPV-induced immune suppression of Langerhans cells (LC), by administering a therapeutically effective amount of a primary cell-derived biologic to a patient infected with HPV, and activating LC. A method of increasing LC migration towards lymph nodes, by administering a therapeutically effective amount of a primary cell-derived biologic to a patient infected with HPV, activating LC, and inducing LC migration towards lymph nodes. A method of generating immunity against HPV, by administering an effective amount of a primary cell derived biologic to a patient infected with HPV, generating immunity against HPV, and preventing new lesions from developing.

Claims (25)

1. A method of immunotherapy for treating human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in a female patient, comprising:

administering an effective amount of a composition consisting of a primary cell-derived biologic and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier to a female patient infected with HPV, such that an immune response is induced to the HPV in the patient and wherein the primary cell-derived biologic includes the cytokines interleukin (IL)-1, interleukin (IL)-2, interleukin (IL)-6, interleukin (IL)-8, interferon (IFN)-gamma and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the primary cell-derived biologic includes a concentration of IL-1 from 60-6,000 pcg/mL, a concentration of IL-2 from 600-60,000 pcg/mL, a concentration of IL-6 from 60-6,000 pcg/mL, a concentration of IL-8 from 6000-600,000 pcg/mL, a concentration of TNF-α from 200-20,000 pcg/mL, and a concentration of IFN-γ from 200-20,000 pcg/mL.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the primary cell-derived biologic further includes interleukin (IL)-7, interleukin (IL)-12, interleukin (IL)-15, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF).

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

administering an effective amount of one or more of a chemical inhibitor, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), and zinc to the patient.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the chemical inhibitor is cyclophosphamide.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the NSAID is indomethacin.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition is a sterile, injectable solution.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the administering of the composition is injection into the patient's epithelium.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the administering of the composition is topical application to the patient's epithelium.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method is such as to prevent new lesions from developing.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the patient has not received prior radiation treatment.

12. A method of immunotherapy for treating human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in a patient that does not have cancer, comprising:

administering an effective amount of a composition consisting of a primary cell-derived biologic and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier to a patient infected with HPV that does not have cancer, such that an immune response is induced to the HPV in the patient and wherein the primary cell-derived biologic includes the cytokines interleukin (IL)-1, interleukin (IL)-2, interleukin (IL)-6, interleukin (IL)-8, interferon (IFN)-gamma and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the primary cell-derived biologic includes a concentration of IL-1 from 60-6,000 pcg/mL, a concentration of IL-2 from 600-60,000 pcg/mL, a concentration of IL-6 from 60-6,000 pcg/mL, a concentration of IL-8 from 6000-600,000 pcg/mL, a concentration of TNF-α from 200-20,000 pcg/mL, and a concentration of IFN-γ from 200-20,000 pcg/mL.

14. The method of claim 12 , wherein the primary cell-derived biologic further includes interleukin (IL)-7, interleukin (IL)-12, interleukin (IL)-15, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF).

15. The method of claim 12 , wherein the method further comprises:

administering an effective amount of one or more of a chemical inhibitor, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), and zinc to the patient.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the chemical inhibitor is cyclophosphamide.

17. The method of claim 15 , wherein the NSAID is indomethacin.

18. The method of claim 12 , wherein the composition is a sterile, injectable solution.

19. The method of claim 12 , wherein the administering of the composition is injection into the patient's epithelium.

20. The method of claim 12 , wherein the administering of the composition is topical application to the patient's epithelium.

21. The method of claim 12 , wherein the method is such as to prevent new lesions from developing.
