The Effect of DNA Methylation on Gene Regulation of Human Papillomaviruses
1 May 1993
Abstract excerpt
Integration of human papillomaviruses (HPVs) into the host genome is considered to be an early and important event in HPV-linked cervical carcinogenesis. Consequently, the viral DNA potentially becomes a target for cellular control mechanisms normally acting on the corresponding integration site. Besides resulting position effects, host-specific DNA methylation may play a functional role in HPV gene regulation....
