Abstract excerpt
We have examined a series of squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) of the anus, anal intraepithelial neoplasia grade III (AINII) lesions and haemorrhoids for the presence of sequences from transforming human papillomavirus (HPV) types by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)/Southern blotting. In addition, the same DNAs have been analysed for abnormalities in the c-myc, p53 and retinoblastoma (Rb-1) gene loci by Southern...
