Abstract excerpt
Human papillomavirus 16 (HPV 16) DNA is found in a high proportion of anal squamous cell carcinomas in whose genesis it is thought to play an important role. In addition, it can be shown to cooperate in vitro with activated ras oncogenes in cellular transformation. We have therefore screened a series of such tumours for activating mutations of the ras oncogene family using DNA amplified in vitro by the polymerase...
