Abstract excerpt
This study aimed at resolving cellular genetic alterations in the process of in vitro immortalization of human keratinocytes by human papillomavirus (HPV) types 16 and 18. Four cell lines of primary human foreskin keratinocytes transfected with HPV 16 and HPV 18, respectively, were analysed durin...
