Abstract：Currently, the morbidity and mortality of cervical cancer rank the second place among gynecological malignancy worldwide, and show the tendency of occurring in younger patients in recent years. Previous studies have demonstrated that high-risk types of human papillomavirus (HPV) are the most significant risk factors associated with the incidence of cervical cancer. Cervical can-cer seems to be the only human malignancy which has clear cause, and can be prevented and detected early, and even be cured. The development of vaccines are important for prevention and treatment of persistent HPV infection, prevention of cervical cancer, improve-ment of quality of life in patients, and even preserving fertility in younger patients. So, the effective development of HPV vaccines is of great social and economic significance.
