Abstract excerpt
The study of a series of 18 cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) grade II and III was aimed at determining the distribution and phenotype of immunocompetent cells (Langerhans cells, T and NK cells) and the alteration in the expression of EGF receptors and beta 2-microglobulin in correlation with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection (viral antigen and DNA typing with biotinylated probes). These lesions were...
