Typical exophytic condyloma acuminatum accounts for few of the infections. Most are "flat condylomata" (flat koilocytosis)--slightly raised plaques of flat profile. Superficial koilocytosis, dyskeratosis and often disturbed deep cells are their main histologica...

The V2 carcinoma-a transplanted rabbit cancer derived originally from a virus-induced papilloma and carrying in masked or altered form the virus primarily responsible for it-was propagated in five successive groups of animals all previously hyperimmunized against the papilloma virus. The cancer grew as well in the hyperimmunized hosts as in normal animals implanted during the same months; and s...

The most effective agents thus far found are 0.3 per cent methylcholanthrene in benzene and a mixture in equal parts of turpentine and acetone, applied four or five times at 2 day intervals. When virus is inoculated into skin altered by these agents, either intrade...
