Abstract excerpt
We have previously shown that the E5a gene of human papilloma virus type 11 (HPV-11/HPV-6c) is a transforming oncogene. In order to dissect the biological consequences of E5a gene expression we utilized the lac operator/repressor system to manipulate E5a gene expression. Cells were cotransfected...
