Laboratory production of infectious stocks of rabbit oral papillomavirus.
Several small, raised lesions from the underside of the tongue of domestic rabbits were isolated, and an extract prepared and tested for the presence of rabbit oral papillomavirus (ROPV). Two weeks after inoculation of this extract into the underside of rabbit tongues, multiple small discrete, grey-white nodules were observed that reached a maximum size of 2 mm in diameter by 5 weeks. These les...
متن کاملIdentification of three transforming proteins encoded by cottontail rabbit papillomavirus.
Cottontail rabbit papillomavirus (CRPV) provides an animal model for human papillomaviruses associated with a high risk of cancer development. So far, nothing is known about the transforming functions of CRPV genes because of the lack of an assay system. We have recently developed two systems to assay for CRPV transforming functions. One is based on the finding that transformation of NIH 3T3 ce...
متن کاملRabbit genital tissue is susceptible to infection by rabbit oral papillomavirus: an animal model for a genital tissue-targeting papillomavirus.
Rabbit oral papillomavirus (ROPV) is a mucosatropic papillomavirus which naturally infects oral mucosal sites of domestic rabbits. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that rabbit genital mucosa is also susceptible to ROPV infection by using the athymic mouse xenograft system and adult immunocompetent rabbits. Subrenal xenografts of ROPV-infected rabbit vulvar and penile sheath tissues were ...
متن کاملHuman papillomavirus: E6 and E7 oncogenes.
The recognition of a causal relationship between human papillomaviruses and cancer almost 30 years ago led to a rapid expansion of knowledge in the field, resulting in the description of the main mediators of HPV-induced carcinogenesis, the viral proteins E6 and E7. These oncoproteins show a remarkable pleiotropism in binding host-cell proteins, with the tumour suppressor genes p53 and pRb as t...
متن کاملPapillomavirus sequences integrate near cellular oncogenes in some cervical carcinomas.
The chromosomal locations of cellular sequences flanking integrated papillomavirus DNA in four cervical carcinoma cell lines and a primary cervical carcinoma have been determined. The two human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 flanking sequences derived from the tumor were localized to chromosome regions 20pter----20q13 and 3p25----3qter, regions that also contain the protooncogenes c-src-1 and c-raf-1,...
