Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT The skin human papillomavirus (HPV) types belonging to the genus beta of the HPV phylogenetic tree appear to be associated with nonmelanoma skin cancer. We previously showed that the beta HPV type 38 E6 and E7 oncoproteins are able to inactivate the tumor suppressors p53 and retinoblastoma. Here, both viral proteins were expressed in primary human skin keratinocytes in order to study their effects on the...
