Cellular Changes Induced by Low-Risk Human Papillomavirus Type 11 in Keratinocytes That Stably Maintain Viral Episomes

Abstract excerpt

Infections by low-risk papillomavirus types, such as human papillomavirus (HPV) type 6 (HPV-6) and HPV-11, induce benign genital warts that rarely progress to malignancy. In contrast, lesions induced by high-risk HPV types have the potential to progress to cancer. Considerable information is available concerning the pathogenesis of high-risk HPV types, but little is known about the life cycle of low-risk HPV...
