Abstract excerpt
In order to get some insight into modifications of human papillomavirus (HPV) genomes which could play a role in tumor progression in epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EV), we studied three EV patients infected by HPV5 and one by HPV8, with cancers containing mostly or only episomal viral genomes with a deletion. The mutants were compared with the full-length genomes present in the benign lesions of each patient....
