Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are small dsDNA tumor viruses, which are the etiologic
agents of most cervical cancers and are associated with a growing percentage of …

The HPV viral lifecycle is tightly linked to the host cell differentiation, causing difficulty in
growing virions in culture. A system that bypasses the need for differentiating epithelium has …

Papillomaviruses are small DNA viruses that are associated with benign and malignant
epithelial lesions, including> 95% of cervical cancers and≈ 20% of head and neck cancers …

Papillomaviruses are a family of nonenveloped DNA tumor viruses. Some sexually
transmitted human papillomavirus (HPV) types, including HPV type 16 (HPV16), cause …

Pentamers of the L1 major capsid protein of human papillomavirus (HPV type 11) were
purified after expression in E. coli and analyzed for the kinetics of in vitro capsid self …

Encapsidation of papillomavirus DNA involves DNA-protein and protein-protein interactions.
We sought to define the role of each human papillomavirus (HPV) capsid protein in HPV …

Papillomaviruses (PVs) are simple double-strand DNA viruses whose virion shells are T= 7
icosahedrons and composed of major capsid protein L1 and minor capsid protein L2. L1 …

Vaccinia virus vectors were used to express the major (L1) and minor (L2) capsid proteins of
human papillomavirus type 1 (HPV-1) with the vaccinia virus early (p7. 5K) or late (pSynth …

It has recently become possible to generate high-titer papillomavirus-based gene-transfer
vectors. The vectors, also known as papillomavirus pseudoviruses (PsV), have been useful …

Papillomaviruses (PVs) demonstrate both tissue and species tropisms. Because PVs
replicate only in terminally differentiating epithelium, the recent production of infectious PV …
