Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To examine the effect of the human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16-E6 (HPV 'early' gene) oncoprotein on in vitro radiosensitivity of HPV-negative/p53 mutant C33a cervical cancer cells. METHODS AND MATERIALS: The human cervical cancer cell line C33a was stably transfected with either the HPV16 E6 cDNA cloned into the vector pcDNA3.0 (C33aE6) or the empty-vector control (C33aV). Radiosensitivity, DNA damage,...
