  1. The overall geometric mean (GM) of absolute titers for samples tested in PBNA are listed along with geometric coefficients of variation (%GCV) and ratios of maximum and minimum titers (Max:Min) which are measures of inter-laboratory variability. Also shown are GM potencies of samples expressed relative to the relevant candidate standard with corresponding %GCV and Max:Min. For the purpose of this assessment, candidate standards were assigned a value of 1 to determine overall GM relative potencies. Median titers across independent assays for each laboratory and HPV type are listed in Supplementary Tables 3–11. *n/N number of median responses/number laboratories testing. **Sample G is the candidate standard for HPV11 antibodies and is also reactive against other types in some assays.
