The human cervical carcinoma cell line ME180 was examined for human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA and RNA. The integrated DNA of a presumably new HPV type showing a relationship closer to HPV39 than to HPV18 was cloned and sequenced. HPV sequences from the E6-E7-E1 region are expressed as poly(A)+ RNAs.

Background: Detection and quantification of human Papillomavirus (HPV) genome in oral carcinoma play an important role in diagnosis, as well as implications for progression of disease. Methods: We evaluated tissues from 50 esopharyngeal cancers collected from different regions of Iran for HPV E6 using the two type-specific primers sets. E6 gene of HPV genotypes was amplified by specific primers...

College-aged males are at high risk for human papillomavirus (HPV); however, vaccination rates remain low, suggesting minimal HPV knowledge. Therefore, an educational intervention was developed and implemented to determine if an increase in HPV knowledge, perceived HPV risk, intention and perceived self-efficacy to obtain the vaccine, and vaccination rates were observed.

A highly divergent human papillomavirus (HPV) strain, HPV-L55, was identified in fecal samples from children hospitalized with diarrhea in China. The L1 gene of HPV-L55 shares <75% identity with previously reported HPVs, indicating that this virus represents a novel type of HPV. Phylogenetic analysis classified this virus as a member of the gammapapillomaviruses.

Genital warts are a sexually transmitted infection caused by certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV). They may be flat or project out from the surface skin, and their color vary; brownish, white, pale yellow, pinkish-red, gray. There few individual several, either in cluster merged together to look cauliflower-shaped. can itchy feel burning. Usually they cause symptoms, but occasionally pai...

Cervical cancer is caused by persistent high-risk type of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. especially types 16 and 18. The choice cervical therapy associated with many side effects, tumor drug resistance, high costs. A more efficient, safe effective needed, such as therapeutic vaccine which targets host factors related to E6 E7 HPV oncoprotein. oncoprotein inhibits p53, whereas pRb. Therap...

Background & Objective: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the main cause of genital warts and some anogenital cancers in male and female subjects which is commonly transmitted by sexual contacts. The objective of this cross-sectional study was to examine the prevalence of HPV genotypes in 10,266 Iranian male and female population, according to their age. Meth...

High risk Human Papilloma Virus (HR-HPV) DNA integration into the human genome isone of the key stages in the progression of cervical neoplasia. This mini-review highlights theimportance of HPV integration as a potential biomarker for cervical screening and brieflydescribes the main methods used to detect HPV integration: Amplification of PapillomavirusOncogene Transcripts (APOT...

Human papillomavirus (HPV) causes cervical, head, and neck cancers. We studied 483 patients at a youth clinic in Stockholm, Sweden, and found oral HPV prevalence was 9.3% and significantly higher for female youth with than without cervical HPV infection (p = 0.043). Most oral HPV types matched the co-occurring cervical types.

A novel human papillomavirus (HPV), now officially recognized as HPV-159, isolated from an anal swab, was fully cloned, sequenced, and genetically characterized. HPV-159 has a genomic organization that is typical of cutaneotrophic HPV types, and it belongs to the genus Betapapillomavirus.
