Abstract excerpt
Integration of the HPV genome into a host cell DNA leads to the deregulated overexpression of the viral E6 and E7 oncoproteins, and this is a key factor for progression from low-grade cervical lesions to high-grade lesions and invasive cervical cancer. The aim of our study was to analyze the expression levels of HPV E6*I/E6*II and E7 genes in cervical neoplasia of different grades. The analysis involved 10...
