Loss of p53 protein in human papillomavirus type 16 E6-immortalized human mammary epithelial cells
1 Dec 1991
Abstract excerpt
We have shown previously that introduction of the human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) or HPV18 genome into human mammary epithelial cells induces their immortalization. These immortalized cells have reduced growth factor requirements. We report here that transfection with a single HPV16 gene E6 is sufficient to immortalize these cells and reduce their growth factor requirements. The RB protein is normal in these...
