The E7 Protein of Cutaneous Human Papillomavirus Type 8 Causes Invasion of Human Keratinocytes into the Dermis in Organotypic Cultures of Skin
15 Mar 2005
Abstract excerpt
Human papillomaviruses (HPV) have been implicated in the development of nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC). The molecular mechanisms by which these viruses contribute towards NMSC are poorly understood. We have used an in vitro skin-equivalent model generated by transducing primary adult human epidermal keratinocytes with retroviruses expressing HPV genes to investigate the mechanisms of viral transformation. In this...
