Epidermal cancer associated with expression of human papillomavirus type 16 E6 and E7 oncogenes in the skin of transgenic mice.
15 Jun 1993
Abstract excerpt
Certain "high-risk" anogenital human papillomaviruses (HPVs) have been associated with the majority of human cervical carcinomas. In these cancers, two papillomaviral genes, E6 and E7, are commonly expressed. In this study we provide evidence that expression of the E6 and E7 genes from the high-risk HPV-16 in the skin of transgenic mice potentiated the development of preneoplastic lesions, and a high percentage...
