Differences in transformation activity between HPV-18 and HPV-16 map to the viral LCR-E6-E7 region
1 Mar 1991
Abstract excerpt
Homologous, subgenomic fragments of the viral LCR and E6/E7 transforming genes of HPV-18 and HPV-16 were amplified from several primary cervical, penile, and vulvar tumors and cloned into a pUC-18-derived vector. When assayed by a quantitative transformation assay using primary human keratinocytes, the subgenomic regions of HPV-16 and HPV-18 exhibited transforming activities similar to that of the full-length,...
