Fig. (2) HPV-mediated effects on the host immune response. (A) Immune evasion mechanisms employed by a HPV-infected cell are
polarization of T cell subtypes, inhibition of the CTL response and modulation of APC trafficking. (B) Immune evasion mechanisms of
HPV-driven malignantly transformed cells include recruitment of immunosuppressive cells, leading to immunosuppressive cytokine
production.
