Abstract excerpt
We have created a transgenic mouse with tissue-specific expression of the human papilloma virus (HPV) 16 E6 and E7 oncoproteins in the thyroid as a model of HPV transformed cancer. The expression of the transgenes results in the formation of palpable thyroid tumors. E7 is not expressed in other tissues but is expressed in medullary thymic epithelial cells, which have been implicated in the control of negative...
