Abstract excerpt
In this study we have explored whether, as a consequence of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, there is inappropriate expression of estrogen receptor and/or of a small heat shock protein of 27,000 daltons (hsp27). Estrogen receptor, hsp27, and HPV structural antigens were detected by immunocytochemistry, while HPV DNA (6/11, 16/18, 31/35/51) was determined by in situ hybridization in cervical and vaginal...
