Abstract excerpt
In the cottontail rabbit papillomavirus (CRPV)-rabbit system, recombinant CRPV DNA can induce papillomas. This investigation was undertaken to evaluate whether the E5 open reading frame (ORF) of CRPV is required for papilloma formation. The CRPV genome we utilized, CRPV-WA, was sequenced in the E5 region and was found to contain one deletion, two insertions, and one transition mutation compared with CRPV-KS, the...
