The E5 Gene of HPV-16 Enhances Keratinocyte Immortalization by Full-Length DNA
1 Sept 1996
Abstract excerpt
Human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) is the most common papillomavirus genome found in human cervical cancers and its DNA is capable of immortalizing primary keratinocytes in vitro. When expressed by their native promoter, two separate HPV-16 oncogenes, E6 and E7, cooperate to immortalize primary human keratinocytes. Early HPV cervical lesions express abundant amounts of E5-specific RNA, and using a quantitative...
