## BACKGROUND. Human papillomaviruses (HPV) are the most important etiologic factor for cervical carcinoma. However, additional cellular events may be necessary for malignant progression in the cervix. Recently, the fragile histidine triad (FHIT) gene, which is frequently lost in many cancers, was

## 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
Certain human papillomaviruses (HPV), mainly types 16 and 18, have been widely recognized as an essential etiologic factor for the development of carcinoma of the uterine cervix. The early HPV proteins E6 and E7 are consistently expressed in the tumor cells, and cervical-carcinoma patients can devel
Human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA sequences are found in most carcinomas originating from the uterine cervix. HPV E6 and E7 oncogenes have been shown to cooperate with ras oncogenes to fully transform human epithelial cells. We investigated the effect of the Ha-ras oncogene on the transcriptional activ
## Abstract By a combination of reversed transcription and subsequent polymerase chain reaction (RNA‐PCR), 23 cytologically normal cervical scrapings, positive for the presence of human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV 16) DNA, were analyzed for the presence of transcripts originating from the E6 region
## Abstract The oncogenic potential of the high‐risk human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes (types 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66 and 68) depends on the expression of the two viral oncogenes E6 and E7. Thus, the detection of HPV E6/E7 oncogene transcripts could serve as a factor i
