Abstract excerpt
The E7 open reading frame of human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) encodes a protein that can immortalize primary rat cells, cooperate with the ras oncoprotein to transform low passage rat cells and transform established rodent cells to anchorage independence. The immortalizing and cooperation functions have been investigated using a series of point mutations that introduce single amino acid changes into the E7...
