Abstract excerpt
We previously immortalized normal human oral keratinocytes (NHOK) by transfection with cloned human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) genome and converted these immortalized cells to tumorigenic cells with chemical carcinogens. Since the tumorigenic cells expressed higher level of HPV-16 E6/E7 transcripts, we predicted that enhanced E6/E7 expression was induced by mutations at the long control region (LCR) of the...
