Regions of human papillomavirus type 16 E7 oncoprotein required for immortalization of human keratinocytes
1 Mar 1992
Abstract excerpt
Binding of the retinoblastoma gene product (pRB) by viral oncoproteins, including the E7 of human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV 16), is thought to be important in transformation of cells. One of the steps in transformation is the immortalization process. Here we show that mutations in E7 within the full-length genome which inhibit binding of pRB do not abrogate the ability of the HPV 16 DNA to immortalize primary...
