26 Jul 2007
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Human papillomavirus 16 (HPV16) has been associated with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) in up to 60% of sampled specimens. METHODS: To understand better the viral genes required to transform human tonsil epithelial cells (HTEC), we isolated HTEC's and transduced them with retroviral vectors containing HPV16 E6 and E7. RESULTS: Immortalization and anchorage-independent growth of HTEC's...
