Radiation-enhanced expression of E6/E7 transforming oncogenes of human papillomavirus-16 in human cervical carcinoma
1 Dec 1998
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection represents the most important risk factor for cervical carcinoma. Levels of expression of E6 and E7 transforming oncoproteins of high risk HPV genotypes (i.e., HPV-16 and HPV-18) have been linked specifically to the mitotic activity of cervical carcinoma and appear to be necessary for maintaining the malignant phenotype. However, E6/E7 viral proteins recently have...
