Production of infectious human papillomavirus independently of viral replication and epithelial cell differentiation

Abstract excerpt

Papillomaviruses are small DNA viruses that are associated with benign and malignant epithelial lesions, including >95% of cervical cancers and approximately 20% of head and neck cancers. Because papillomavirus replication and virion production are tied to epithelial cell differentiation, infectious papillomavirus virion production has been limited to cumbersome organotypic cultures and mouse xenografts....
