Comparative Analysis of 19 Genital Human Papillomavirus Types with Regard to p53 Degradation, Immortalization, Phylogeny, and Epidemiologic Risk Classification

Abstract excerpt

We have analyzed E6 proteins of 19 papillomaviruses able to infect genital tissue with regard to their ability to degrade p53 and the thus far unknown immortalization potential of the genomes of human papillomaviruses (HPV) 53, 56, 58, 61, 66, and 82 in primary human keratinocytes. E6 proteins of HPV types 16, 18, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, and 66, defined as high-risk types, were able to induce p53...
