CIEF with whole-column imaging detection (WCID) can be a useful tool for the characterization and identification of human papillomavirus (HPV). This article is the initial report of the determination of the pI of HPV by CIEF-WCID method. In this study, components of the assay selected for optimization were ampholytes, additives, methylcellulose concentration, HPV concentration, salt concentration, and focusing time. Then the optimization CIEF-WCID method was validated for HPV 16L1 and HPV 18L1. As a result, a precise method to analyze the pI values of HPVs was achieved with RSD < 1.0%. The HPV peak pattern was reproducible. CIEF-WCID had great potential for HPV quality control, as WCID eliminated the mobilization step required by the conventional single-point detection. In the example, the five HPVs displayed pI values of 8.43 ± 0.06 (n = 10; HPV 6L1), 8.70 ± 0.04 (n = 10; HPV 11L1), 7.94 ± 0.05 (n = 18; HPV 16L1), 7.57 ± 0.04 (n = 18; HPV 18L1), and 8.45 ± 0.05 (n = 10; HPV 58L1). This CIEF-WCID platform could be a powerful analytical tool for characterization, process development support, release testing, and stability study in pharmaceutical industry.

D012680	Sensitivity and Specificity	Binary classification measures to assess test results. Sensitivity or recall rate is the proportion of true positives. Specificity is the probability of correctly determining the absence of a condition. (From Last, Dictionary of Epidemiology, 2d ed)	Specificity,Sensitivity,Specificity and Sensitivity
D052685	Alphapapillomavirus	A genus of DNA viruses in the family PAPILLOMAVIRIDAE. They preferentially infect the anogenital and ORAL MUCOSA in humans and primates, causing both malignant and benign neoplasms. Cutaneous lesions are also seen.	Alphapapillomaviruses
