carcinoma derived from the virus-induced rabbit papillontá has been the subject of numerous stud iss. Early work indicated that the carcinoma (V2) did not contain papilloma virus demonstrable by the usual infectivity tests. Nevertheless, there was reason to believe that papilloma antigen was pres cut in the V2 carcinoma cell, since the host rabbits developed specific papilloma complement-fixin...

human papilloma virus causes benign and malignant abnormalities in different part of the body. the link between high risk types of hpv and some anogenital and aerodigestive tract cancer is well established. oral hpv infection plays a role in developing oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. we studied the prevalence of oral hpv in healthy individuals and its relative risk factors.saliva samples...

purpose: to explore any association between human papilloma virus (hpv) infection and ocular surface squamous neoplasia. methods: forty pathological specimens including 20 cases of conjunctival intra-epithelial neoplasia grade i (cin i) and 20 cases of cin iii and invasive squamous cell carcinoma (scc) together with 20 pterygium samples (controls) were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction (pcr...

introduction: the human papilloma virus (hpv) can play a role in the development of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (scc). our aim was to assess the prevalence of hpv dna in scc of the larynx. the impact of hpv infection on patient survival was also evaluated.  materials and methods: this case-control study was performed in 44 patients with scc of the larynx (case group), while the contro...

The virus-induced papillomas of cottontail as well as domestic rabbits regress completely within a few weeks when exposed to 5,000 r of x-ray irradiation. The x-rays do not immediately kill the papilloma cells, but lead to death by inhibiting cellular division and producing pathological changes in the cells which then continue to differentiate. The virus associated with the growths, however, no...

Professor Harald zur Hausen, emeritus Scientific Director and Chairman of the Management Board of the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg, has made seminal observations that identify novel human papilloma viruses as key contributors to cervical cancer.
