Cervical cancer is the only cancer for which an effective vaccine has been developed. The reason is a peculiar characteristic in the causative agent for
cervical cancer. Recent research reveals that a seventy percent of all cervical cancers are attributable to infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV) (Ramirez, 2007). Interestingly, in the laboratory
this virus can be coaxed into reproducing empty shells of itself, shells that when injected into the body in the form of a vaccine cause the body to produce antigens
which later become invaluable if subsequent infection with the disease causing virus occurs. The HPV Vaccine is produced much like any
other vaccine is produced. It serves to stimulate our bodys immune response on a much lower and safer level than it would be stimulated in the presence of the
full-fledged disease. Our bodys immune response is triggered by the presence of antigens. Antigens are usually but not always proteins. They are specific to a particular disease.
When they enter our body they become a foreign intruder and the body initiates a defense response in an attempt to eradicate them.
The defense response staged by our immune system includes the production of antibodies, blood proteins that act on a molecular level by binding with the antigens so
that they can be more easily removed from the system. Vaccines stimulate the production of antibodies so that when or if a disease does enter our body they will
already be present in full force and more capable of dealing with the disease in an efficient and systematic manner. In
