I am aware of one study in my field of interest that is relevant to
this thread. de Gruijl and colleagues published a paper about HPV
antigens and precancerous lesions of the uterine cervix. It was in
the International Journal of Cancer in 1996. Basically they were able
to correlate an IgG2 response to clearance of the viral infection and
they concluded that this indicated IFN gamma production at the site of
infection. - Kevin Ault MD University of Iowa USA
