Abstract excerpt
We have investigated the genetic basis for malignant progression of an human papillomavirus type 16 immortalized human keratinocyte cell line (HPKIA) by somatic cell fusion. In this cell culture model system for human papillomavirus type 16-associated tumorigenesis, early passage cells (HPKIA-nt) are nontumorigenic, whereas gamma-irradiated late passage cells (HPKIA-t) are tumorigenic when tested in nude mice....
