Human Papillomavirus: Gene Expression, Regulation and Prospects For Novel Diagnostic Methods and Antiviral Therapies

Abstract excerpt

Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) cause diseases ranging from benign warts to invasive tumors. A subset of these viruses termed 'high risk' infect the cervix where persistent infection can lead to cervical cancer. Although many HPV genomes have been sequenced, knowledge of virus gene expression and its regulation is still incomplete. This is due in part to the lack, until recently, of suitable systems for virus...
