Spontaneous tumour development in human papillomavirus type 8 E6 transgenic mice and rapid induction by UV-light exposure and wounding
3 Nov 2009
Abstract excerpt
Cutaneous human papillomavirus type 8 (HPV8) is carcinogenic in patients with epidermodysplasia verruciformis. Transgenic mice with the complete early region (CER) of HPV8 spontaneously developed papillomas, dysplasia and squamous cell carcinomas of the skin. To characterize the role of individual early genes in carcinogenesis, the E6 and E6/E7 genes were expressed separately in transgenic mice. Nearly all...
