Abstract excerpt
The early genes E6 and E7 from human papillomaviruses (HPVs) play a key role in the development of cervical cancer. Modulation of E6 and E7 gene expression may alter tumour progression; therefore, modifiers of viral transcription such as hormones or growth factors are potential risk factors in cancer development. We have analysed the effects of epidermal growth factor (EGF) on E6/E7 mRNA from human papillomavirus...
