Abstract excerpt
Inhibition of human papillomavirus (HPV) E6 and E7 transcription by means of the E2 protein of bovine papillomavirus 1 (BPV1) has been shown to induce acute growth arrest in HPV-positive cervical carcinoma cells. This state of arrest is marked by the expression of senescence phenotypes including SA beta-Gal activity and lipofuscin accumulation. In this study, we examined the reversibility of these phenotypes by...
