| sequence variation in the capsid protein genes of human papillomavirus type 16. | we have cloned and sequenced the l1 and l2 genes from human papillomavirus type 16 (hpv16) dna-containing cervical cytology samples collected from the u.k. and trinidad. samples containing high copy numbers of hpv16 dna were selected as being likely to contain fully functional virus dna molecules in an episomal state, rather than in an integrated and possibly altered state. in comparison with the previously published sequence of hpv16 isolated from an invasive cancer a variety of differences wer ... | 1994 | 8151305 |
| distinct distribution of hpv types among cancer-free afro-caribbean women from tobago. | human papillomavirus (hpv), a sexually transmitted virus causes cervical carcinomas, and is associated with approximately 36% of oropharyngeal tumours where hpv16 is the predominant genotype. the cervical cancer incidence rate in trinidad and tobago is about two times higher than the worldwide rate. we have for the first time determined the prevalence and type distribution of cervical hpv infections among cancer-free afro-caribbean women from tobago, and compared it with the hpv subtypes observe ... | 2007 | 17701749 |
