Skin Hyperproliferation and Susceptibility to Chemical Carcinogenesis in Transgenic Mice Expressing E6 and E7 of Human Papillomavirus Type 38
10 Nov 2005
Abstract excerpt
The oncoproteins E6 and E7 of human papillomavirus type 38 (HPV38) display several transforming activities in vitro, including immortalization of primary human keratinocytes. To evaluate the oncogenic activities of the viral proteins in an in vivo model, we generated transgenic mice expressing HPV38 E6 and E7 under the control of the bovine homologue of the human keratin 10 (K10) promoter. Two distinct lines of...
