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
The E6 protein of cancer-associated human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) binds to cellular p53 and promotes its degradation through the ubiquitin pathway. In an attempt to identify the regions of E6 that could be targetted for functional inhibition, we generated monoclonal antibodies to the HPV16 E6
