Abstract excerpt
High-risk Human Papillomavirus (HPV) E6 and E7 immortalizing oncoproteins are expressed from a promoter tightly regulated by an epithelial specific enhancer. To determine if the p53 tumour suppressor protein can modulate the transcription of these genes, we performed co-transfection experiments with plasmids containing the HPV type 16 or 18 long control regions linked to the chloramphenicol acetyl transferase...
