With the goal of facilitating viral reproduction, cytomegalovirus (CMV) induces changes in the host cell replication machinery. Very little information is available, however, on the effects brought about by CMV on proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and Ki-67 expression in infected cells. Fift

Abstract
12 Infectious Wart lesions were stained using the streptavidinβbiotin immunoperoxidase method for PCNA10, MIBβ1 (Kiβ67 equivalent antigen) and Human Papilloma Virus antigen to study the effect of HPV presence on epidermal proliferation. Using strict methods to avoid observer bias, Kiβ67 antigen was found in a high proportion of nuclei in the suprabasal layers together with HPV antigens, in the absence of PCNA staining. This finding indicates that DNA synthesis related, Kiβ67 antigen bearing structures can be raised in the human nucleus in the absence of induction of PCNA bearing structures, suggesting also structural independence between the antigen bearing molecules.

## Abstract We tried to investigate the expression rate of human papillomavirus (HPV) L1 capsid protein in uterine cervical specimens and correlate it with the grade of dysplasia, HPV genotype and age of the patients. Among uterine cervical specimens proved to have HPV by DNA genotyping test, eight
Expression of epidermal-growth-factor receptor (EGFR), transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-a) and Ki-67 proliferation antigen in cervical intra-epithelial neoplasms were analyzed. To examine the interrelationship of TGF-a, EGFR, Ki-67 and HPV status in dysplasia and carcinoma in situ, formalin-fix
Papanicolaou-stained cervical smears (Pap smears) of post-menopausal women often present difficulties in distinguishing atrophic cervical epithelium from high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2-3). The aim of this study was to disclose differences in proliferative activity in normal cerv
