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
## 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 c
High rates of cervical cancer have been reported from parts of China and this may reflect a predominance of cervical infection with particularly aggressive human papillomavirus (HPV) variants. This PCR-based investigation of cervical tumours from Sichuan province in central China demonstrated an HPV
