Molecular mechanisms of cervical carcinogenesis by high‐risk human papillomaviruses: novel functions of E6 and E7 oncoproteins
20 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
Over the last two decades, since the initial discovery of human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 and 18 DNAs in cervical cancers by Dr. Harald zur Hausen (winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, 2008), the HPVs have been well characterised as causative agents for cervical cancer. Viral DNA from a specific group of HPVs can be detected in at least 90% of all cervical cancers and two viral genes, E6 and...
