Abstract excerpt
Infection with high-risk types of human papillomavirus (HPV) can cause the development of malignant tumors. To study mechanisms responsible for immune escape of tumor cells infected with HPV16, we previously used mouse oncogenic TC-1 cells producing HPV16 E6 and E7 oncoproteins to derive TC-1 clones resistant to immunization against E7. We have found immunoresistance of the clones to correlate with the point...
