2. 1. Human papillomavirus tropism : determinants of viral tissue specificity

   Author : Nitesh Mistry; Magnus Evander; Ola Forslund; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; papillomavirus; receptor; heparan sulfate; pI; lactoferrin; lactoferricin; transcription; long control region; tropism; Virology; Virologi;

   Abstract : Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among women worldwide and human papillomavirus (HPV) is a prerequisit for the development of this cancer. HPV belongs to the Papillomaviridae family and infects the basal layer of epithelial cells where it generally progresses into warts or condylomas. READ MORE

4. 2. Regulation of RNA Processing in Human Papillomavirus Type 16

   Author : Margaret Rush; Stefan Schwartz; Jörgen Kjems; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular biology; RNA processing; human papillomavirus; HPV-16; alternative splicing; polyadenylation; exonic splicing enhancer; 3 UTR; upstream polyadenylation element; SR proteins; Molekylärbiologi; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi;

   Abstract : Human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) is the major cause of cervical cancer. HPV-16 gene expression is tightly linked to the differentiation programme of the infected epithelium. Expression of the late genes, L1 and L2, encoding the capsid proteins, is delayed until the more terminally differentiated cells. READ MORE

5. 3. Serology of human papillomavirus type 16

   Author : Xiaohong Wang; Malmö Klinisk mikrobiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; virology; mycology; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi; bacteriology; Microbiology; neutralization; avidity; heparin; epitope; ELISA; HPV16; antibody response;

   Abstract : Human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 is the major cause of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and anogenital cancers. The antibody response to papillomaviruses is a key determinant of protective immunity and forms the basis for prophylactic vaccine development as well as for seroepidemiology. READ MORE

6. 4. Regulation of Human Papillomavirus Type 16 mRNA Splicing and Polyadenylation

   Author : Xiaomin Zhao; Stefan Schwartz; Barklie Clements; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Medical sciences; human papillomavirus type 16; gene regulation; splicing; polyadenylation; 3 UTR; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : Human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) is the major causative agent of cervical cancer. The life cycle of this oncogenic DNA tumour virus is strictly associated with the differentiation program of the infected epithelial cells. Expression of the viral capsid genes L1 and L2 can only be detected in the terminally differentiated epithelial cells. READ MORE

7. 5. Posttranscriptional Regulation of Human Papillomavirus Type 16 Late mRNAs

   Author : Brian Collier; Carl Baker; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biochemistry; HPV 16; Negative Element; Translation; mRNA stability; Codon Usage; RNA binding proteins; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Medical Virology; medicinsk virologi;

   Abstract : The lifecycle of the human papillomavirus (HPV) is strictly linked to the programmed differentiation of the host cell it infects. Production of late proteins, which are used for the production of the major and minor capsid proteins, is only seen upon terminal differentiation of the epithelium. READ MORE
