Integration of papillomavirus DNA near myc genes in genital carcinomas and its consequences for proto-oncogene expression
1 Aug 1991
Abstract excerpt
DNA sequences of specific human papillomavirus (HPV) types are found integrated in the cell genome in most invasive genital carcinomas. We have determined the chromosomal localization of integrated HPV type 16 (HPV-16) or HPV-18 genomes in genital cancers by in situ hybridization experiments. In three cancers, HPV sequences were localized in chromosome band 8q24.1, in which the c-myc gene is mapped, and in one...
