Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The E6 and E7 genes of human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) encode oncoproteins that bind and degrade p53 and retinoblastoma (pRb) tumor suppressors, respectively. We examined the effects of repressing E6 and E7 oncogene expression on the transformed phenotype of HPV16-positive oropharyngeal cancer cell lines. METHODS: Human oropharyngeal squamous cell cancer 147T and 090 (harboring integrated HPV16...
