Abstract excerpt
In order to study how human papillomaviruses (HPVs) can alter normal epithelial cell differentiation, we looked at the response to retinoic acid (RA) of HPV-immortalized keratinocytes grown on organotypic cultures. Ten- to 30-fold higher concentrations of RA were required to block terminal differentiation in these cultures when compared to organotypic cultures of control cells. This resistance to RA was...
