The September 13th New Yorker has an article about the papilloma virus, cervical dysplasia, cervical cancer and anal cancer. It does not mention SSB, other than this oblique comment towards the end: "There are also attempts to develop a so-called therapeutic vaccine, which would boost the immune system of someone who was already infected. Such vaccines would target the E6 and E7 proteins, those viral proteins that sabotage cell-growth regulation." However, the article gives a very good idea of the nature and size of the potential market for SSBs vaccines, should they prove effective.
