Human papillomavirus type 16 E6 gene cooperates with EJ-ras to immortalize primary mouse cells.

Abstract excerpt

Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are small DNA tumor viruses, a subset of which is closely associated with the development of cervical cancer. The viral E6 and E7 open reading frames encode multifunctional proteins that bind respectively to the p53 protein and to the product of the retinoblastoma tumor-suppressor gene. In this study we demonstrate that the HPV-16 E6 gene cooperates with EJ-ras to immortalize primary...
