Amplification of papillomaviral DNA sequences from a high proportion of feline cutaneous<i>in situ</i>and invasive squamous cell carcinomas using a nested polymerase chain reaction

Abstract excerpt

Squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) are common skin tumours of cats. Previous studies have suggested that papillomaviral (PV) DNA is detectible within some feline SCCs. A PV DNA sequence has been previously amplified from five feline bowenoid in situ carcinomas (BISCs). Primers specific for this sequence were used in a nested polymerase chain reaction to compare PV detection rates in SCCs to rates within non-SCC skin...
