Abstract excerpt
Transfection of the E6 gene of human papillovirus (HPV) 16 into primary human keratinocytes (PHKs) generates proliferating cell colonies which are resistant to serum- and calcium-induced terminal differentiation. The extreme C-terminus of E6 was shown to be dispensable for this activity. To map further the amino acid sequences required for inducing resistance to serum and calcium, and to address the functional...
