Infection by certain human papillomavirus types is regarded as the major risk factor in the
development of cervical cancer, one of the most common cancers of women worldwide …

We have generated four mouse monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) to bovine papillomavirus
virions that bound type-specific, adjacent, and conformationally dependent epitopes on the …

The elegant icosahedral surface of the papillomavirus virion is formed by a single protein
called L1. Recombinant L1 proteins can spontaneously self-assemble into a highly …

The papillomavirus major late protein, L1, forms the pentameric assembly unit of the viral
shell. Recombinant HPV16 L1 pentamers assemble in vitro into capsid-like structures, and …

The organization of the major (L1) and minor (L2) proteins in the human papillomavirus
capsid is still largely unknown. In this study we analysed the disulphide bonding between L1 …

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

The first step of papillomavirus infection is believed to be binding of major capsid protein L1
to the cell surface without involvement of minor capsid protein L2, but the viral infectivity can …

The human papillomavirus (HPV) capsid consists of 360 copies of the major capsid protein,
L1, arranged as 72 pentamers on a T= 7 icosahedral lattice, with substoichiometric amounts …

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 …

The major capsid protein L1 of papillomaviruses expressed recombinantly or in infected
cells has the intrinsic ability to form virus-like particles (VLPs) which display conformational …
