Persistent warts protected from immune attack by a blocking factor

D L Freed et al. Br J Dermatol. 1979 Jun.

Abstract

Severe warts of 20 years duration, highly resistant to therapy, were found to contain a soluble factor which blocked the local expression of cellular immunity, without affecting systemic immune responsiveness. This finding enabled us to propose therapy by infection, and this had a limited success.
