In vitro synthesis of oncogenic human papillomaviruses requires episomal genomes for differentiation-dependent late expression.
2 Apr 1996
Abstract excerpt
Human papillomavirus (HPV) types 16, 18, 31, and 51 are the etiologic agents of many anogenital cancers including those of the cervix. These "high risk" HPVs specifically target genital squamous epithelia, and their lytic life cycle is closely linked to epithelial differentiation. We have developed a genetic assay for HPV functions during pathogenesis using recircularized cloned HPV 31 genomes that were...
