  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. Human Papillomavirus Load and Cervical Carcinoma

    Author : Jonas Sundberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; potentially malignant oral disorders; HPV; recurrence;

    Abstract : Oral leukoplakia (OL) is clinically diagnosed as a white oral lesion that cannot be scraped of or diagnosed as any other type of oral lesion. OL has the potential to transform into oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The gold standard treatment is a combination of surgical excision if possible, and surveillance. READ MORE

  6. 4. Papillomavirus binding and entry : The heparan sulfate receptor and inhibition by lactoferrin

    Author : Peter Drobni; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Papillomaviruses (PVs) infect epithelial cells and are the main causative agent of cervical carcinoma. There are today more than a hundred different PV types and these can be divided into high risk and low risk types. They infect differentiating epithelial cells which make it cumbersome to propagate and produce human papillomavirus (HPV) virions. READ MORE

  7. 5. Detection of human papillomavirus : a study of normal cells, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and cancer of the uterine cervix

    Abstract : Human papillomavirus (HPV) infections of the genital tract are now recognized to be among the most prevalent sexually transmitted diseases and also a contributing factor to some cancers of the lower genital tract of women and men. Presence of HPV in a clinical specimen is confined to detection of the HPV genome by DNA hybridization techniques. READ MORE
