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
Infection of cervical epithelial cells with certain high risk HPV genotypes is thought to play an etiologic role in the development of cervical cancer. In particular, HPV type 16 and 18 early protein 6 (E6) is thought to contribute to epithelial transformation by binding to the tumor suppressor prot
