## Abstract The viral factor E7 plays a key role in the wellβestablished association between βhighβriskβ Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection and the development of epithelial malignant tumors, as uterine cervix and anoβgenital cancer. To delve into the molecular mechanisms of HPVβmediated cell tra
## Abstract The ability of the human papillomavirus type 16 (HPVβ16) E6 or E7 gene to induce immortalization of normal human embryonic fibroblast WHEβ7 cells was examined. WHEβ7 cells at 9 population doublings (PD) were infected with retrovirus vectors encoding either HPVβ16 E6 or E7 alone or both
We and others have previously reported that human papillomavirus (HPV)-16 E6 protein expression sensitizes certain cell types to apoptosis. To confirm that this sensitization occurred in HPV's natural host cells, and to explore the mechanism(s) of sensitization, we infected human keratinocytes (HKCs
