| the canine papillomavirus e5 protein signals from the endoplasmic reticulum. | the recently discovered canis familiaris papillomavirus (pv) type 2 (cfpv2) provides a unique opportunity to study pv gene functions in vitro and in vivo. unlike the previously characterized canine oral pv, cfpv2 contains an e5 open reading frame and is associated with progression to squamous cell carcinoma. in the current study, we have expressed and characterized the cfpv2-encoded e5 protein, a small, hydrophobic, 41-amino-acid polypeptide. we demonstrate that, similar to the e5 protein from h ... | 2009 | 19812158 |
| identification of canine papillomavirus by pcr in greyhound dogs. | corns are hard protuberances that occur on the digital footpads of greyhound dogs. the cause of these lesions is unknown and there is little information about them in the veterinary literature. we received anecdotal examples of dog to dog spread of corns suggesting an infectious cause. the aim of this study was to determine if papillomavirus (pv) is associated with greyhound corns. | 2016 | 27957392 |
| genomic characterisation of canine papillomavirus type 17, a possible rare cause of canine oral squamous cell carcinoma. | squamous cell carcinomas (sccs) are the second most common cancer of the canine oral cavity resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. recently a dog with multiple oral sccs that contained a novel papillomavirus (pv) was reported. the aim of the present study was to determine the genome of this novel pv. to do this a short section of pv dna was amplified from an oral scc and 'back-to-back' primers were designed. due to the circular nature of pv dna, these primers were then used to amplify ... | 2016 | 26711040 |
