different papillomaviruses as the causes of oral warts.we have observed four patients with oral papillomas. two children had oral mucosal lesions characteristic of focal epithelial hyperplasia, a young man had common, wart-like lesions on his hard palate, and a male immunosuppressed renal allograft recipient had condyloma-like lesions on his gingivae. papillomavirus-like particles were seen by electron microscopy in lesions from both patients with focal epithelial hyperplasia. no structural antigens for human papillomavirus (hpv) 1, 2, 3, or 5 were ...19826284061
human papilloma viral dna replicates as a stable episome in cultured epidermal keratinocytes.human papilloma virus (hpv) is poorly understood because systems for its growth in tissue culture have not been developed. we report here that cultured human epidermal keratinocytes could be infected with hpv from plantar warts and that the viral dna persisted and replicated as a stable episome. there were 50-200 copies of viral dna per cell and there was no evidence to indicate integration of viral dna into the cellular genome. there was also no evidence to suggest that viral dna underwent prod ...19826285348
[detection and mapping of conserved nucleotidic sequences between the genomes of human papillomavirus 1 a and bovine papillomavirus 1 by electron microscope heteroduplex analysis (author's transl)].three regions of partial homology have been detected between the genomes of human papillomavirus 1 a (hpv-1 a) and bovine papillomavirus 1 (bpv-1) by electron microscope analysis of heteroduplex molecules. these regions contain about 25% of non-homologous bases and represent 13% of the genome length. they have been mapped on the viral dnas. this allowed a reciprocal orientation of the physical maps of the two genomes. two regions are located in the middle of the transforming fragment of bpv-1 dn ...19826286053

analysis of human genital warts (condylomata acuminata) and other genital tumors for human papillomavirus type 6 dna.32p-labelled cloned hpv 6 dna was used as probe to analyze human genital tumors for dna sequences homologous to hpv 6 dna. ninety three percent of all condylomata acuminata (41 out of 44) were found to harbor hpv 6 dna. of the remaining three, one contained hpv 1 dna. no papillomavirus dna was identified in the two other tumors. all three invasively growing giant condylomata acuminata (buschke-löwenstein tumors) investigated also contained hpv 6 dna. two out of six atypical condylomata of the ce ...19826277807
frequency and distribution of papillomavirus structural antigens in verrucae, multiple papillomas, and condylomata of the oral cavity.sixty-seven proliferous squamous epithelial lesions of the oral cavity were examined for the presence of human papillomavirus whole (structural) virion antigens by a peroxidase-antiperoxidase technique having immunospecificity against genus-specific (common) antigens of the papillomaviruses. a positive reaction for papillomavirus genus specific antigens was found in 18 of 29 verrucae, 2 of 5 multiple papillomas, and 3 of 5 condylomata; common antigens were not detected in 28 keratoacanthomas. th ...19826282128
intraepithelial squamous lesions of the vulva: biologic and histologic criteria for the distinction of condylomas from vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia.we reviewed 65 intraepithelial lesions of the vulva and distal vagina and compared the presence of koilocytosis, abnormal mitoses, and parabasal or basal nuclear enlargement with dna microspectrophotometric distribution patterns and the presence of human papillomavirus antigen as determined by immunoperoxidase. abnormal mitoses and cytologically atypical nuclear enlargement were specific predictors of aneuploidy and were reliable for distinguishing vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (vin) from con ...19826287842
early invasive and in situ warty carcinoma of the vulva: clinical, histologic, and electron microscopic study with particular reference to viral association.cases of carcinoma of the vulva with a warty appearance were reviewed. altogether, 27 cases of warty carcinoma of the vulva were treated at the university of minnesota hospitals between 1976 and 1980, which accounted for 22.4% of all vulvar epithelial malignancies. as compared to the previous experience between 1951 and 1970, this relative frequency increased fourfold. clinical history indicated that warty carcinoma of the vulva was not necessarily preceded by long lead periods of in situ lesion ...19826285742
demonstration of human papilloma virus antigen in the condylomatous lesions of the uterine cervix by immunoperoxidase technique.routine histological sections of characteristic condylomas (showing dysplasia of different degrees) collected from the uterine cervix of 10 women were subjected to staining with indirect immunoperoxidase technique using antihuman papillomavirus (anti-hpv) serum to demonstrate the hpv antigens in these lesions. the anti-hpv immune serum was raised in guinea pigs immunized with highly purified viruses from a pool of skin wart lesions collected from various anatomical sites. 8 out of the 10 condylo ...19826288519
isolation of a human papillomavirus from a patient with epidermodysplasia verruciformis: presence of related viral dna genomes in human urogenital tumors.the dna genome of a human papillomavirus (hpv), tentatively designated hpv-ev, was molecularly cloned from hand to leg lesions of a patient with epidermodysplasia verruciformis, a chronic skin disease associated with a 30% risk of developing cancer. using stringent hybridization conditions, we observed less than 5% homology between hpv-ev and the cloned genomes of hpv-1, hpv-4, hpv-5, and hpv-5a. hpv-ev dna showed approximately 6% homology with hpv-2 and 36% homology with hpv-3. these data sugge ...19826289302
human papillomavirus. frequency and distribution in plantar and common warts.fifty-nine (24 plantar, 35 common) warts surgically excised from 44 patients (15 female, 29 male), 18 to 32 years old, were examined by electron microscopy (em) for papillomavirus particles and by fluorescent antibody (fa) and peroxidase-antiperoxidase (pap) tests for human papillomavirus type 1 (hpv-1)-specific antigens and papillomavirus genus-specific (common) antigens. fifty per cent of plantar warts and 52 per cent of common warts were positive for hpv by em. when examined by fa and pap for ...19826290785
viral etiology of juvenile- and adult-onset squamous papilloma of the larynx.juvenile- and adult-onset laryngeal papillomas were examined for the presence of a human papillomavirus (hpv) genome and capsid antigens. dna was isolated from a portion of tissue removed for therapeutic purposes, and the presence of a papillomavirus genome was detected by southern transfer analysis. the viral dna found in the 12 juvenile-onset and the 8 adult-onset laryngeal papillomas examined was identified as hpv-6 on the basis of size, restriction endonuclease digestion patterns, and homolo ...19826291043
molecular cloning and characterization of human papilloma virus dna derived from a laryngeal papilloma.papilloma virus dna from a laryngeal papilloma was cloned in phage lambda l 47 and characterized after cleavage with different restriction enzymes. hybridization with the dnas of human papilloma virus types 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 8 showed no homology under stringent hybridization conditions. human papilloma virus type 6 dna, however, was partially identical to laryngeal papilloma virus dna; different restriction enzyme fragments hybridizing with the other dna were identified on each genome. the degr ...19826292500
human papilloma virus (hpv) antigens in lesions of laryngeal squamous cell carcinomas.paraffin sections from 36 laryngeal squamous cell carcinomas with histological features of coexistent condylomatous changes (the flat, inverted and papillomatous lesions caused by human papilloma virus; hpv) were stained for hpv antigens with an indirect immunoperoxidase technique. the hpv antiserum used was prepared in guinea pigs immunized against the purified hpv virions from human common wart tissue. of the tumors studied, 36% showed the presence of hpv antigens. in that, one-third of the fl ...19826292810
detection of human papillomavirus dna in anogenital neoplasias.the presence of papillomaviruses in epithelial-derived cancers from several animal species has led to the speculation that these viruses may also have a pathogenic role in the development of certain human carcinomas, particularly those associated with the anogenital tract. recently, human papillomavirus (hpv) dna has been detected in epithelial-derived cancers, both cutaneous and metastatic, from patients exhibiting the rare, chronic flat wart disease, epidermodysplasia verruciformis (ev). excep ...19826294530
squamous cell papilloma of the esophagus: a tumour probably caused by human papilloma virus (hpv).the third well-documented case of an oesophageal squamous cell papilloma in the literature is studied by light microscopy and using an indirect immunoperoxidase-pap technique. human papilloma virus (hpv) antigens were found within the nuclei of the superficial dyskeratotic cells and of koilocytes, both of which are characteristic cells found in hpv lesions elsewhere in the body. the findings are discussed in the light of current concepts of hpv lesions in general. it is suggested that this tumou ...19826188592
correlation between human papillomavirus (hpv) type and histology of warts.forty warts from different patients and of different clinical type were examined histologically and virologically. eight lesions were found to be associated with human papillomavirus type 1 (hpv 1), 15 tumors were induced by hpv 2, hpv 3 was detected 4 times, hpv 4 twice, and hpv 6 eleven times. hpv 3, hpv 4, and hpv 6 induced warts revealed a correlation between histology and virus type. they are characterized by the so called "edematous type clear cells". in hpv 3 associated flat warts pycnoti ...19826276473
carcinoma cuniculatum (verrucous carcinoma of the skin): a clinicopathologic study of 46 cases with ultrastructural observations.forty-six examples of carcinoma cuniculatum, a rare variant of squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, were studied by means of light and electron microscopy and immunoperoxidase techniques. the tumors usually presented as ulcerated, fungating, and polypoid masses with openings of sinus tracts onto the skin surface that exuded foul-smelling greasy material when pressure was applied. on microscopic examination the tumors were seen to be composed mainly of mature squamous keratinocytes with foci of c ...19827042070

the role of keratinocyte differentiation in the expression of epitheliotropic viruses.we have examined the growth of three epitheliotropic viruses in cultures of human epidermal keratinocytes: herpes simplex virus (hsv) type 1, adenovirus type 2 (ad-2), and human papillomavirus (hpv) type 1. differences were noted in the level of expression of each virus, and these differences may be related to a dependency or lack of dependency on keratinocyte differentiation for complete viral growth. of the three viruses studied, hsv was the only one to replicate productively in all cells of t ...19836190958
introduction of cloned human papillomavirus genomes into mouse cells and expression at the rna level.the entire dna genomes of five different human papillomaviruses (hpvs) were cloned into the bamhi site of pbr322 (hpv-1a, hpv-3, hpv-4, and hpv-9) or the ecori site of pbr325 (hpv-2), using as starting materials virus preparations isolated from papillomas of individual patients. under stringent hybridization conditions (tm-28 degrees), the five cloned hpvs exhibited less than 10% homology with one another. to establish model cell systems that may be useful for the identification of hpv genes and ...19836193636
histologic, nuclear dna, and human papillomavirus studies of cervical condylomas.fifty-four cervical condylomatous lesions, with and without nuclear atypia, from 42 women, were studied with the feulgen microspectrophotometric technique for nuclear dna quantitation and an immunoperoxidase technique for human papillomavirus (hpv) antigen. all ordinary cervical condylomas (without atypia/dysplasia) had a diploid or polyploid nuclear dna distribution; 61% had detectable hpv antigen. among the cervical condylomas with atypia/dysplasia, 55% (17/31) had diploid or polyploid nuclear ...19836193864
detection of human papillomavirus type 5 dna in skin cancers of an immunosuppressed renal allograft recipient.a renal allograft recipient with an epidermodysplasia-verruciformis-like syndrome was found to have human papillomavirus type 5 (hpv-5) in his benign warty lesions and hpv-5 dna in two of his skin cancers. this finding points to a role for hpv-5 in skin oncogenesis in renal allograft recipients.19836135911
morphological and immunohistochemical evidence of human papilloma virus (hpv) involvement in the dysplastic lesions of the uterine cervix.a series of 110 biopsies of the uterine cervix containing dysplastic and/or in situ changes were assessed morphologiccally with reference to presence or absence of the coexistent condylomatous lesions, and using the immunoperoxidase-pap technique to disclose the hpv (human papilloma virus) antigens in the cells. morphologically, 79 biopsies contained condylomatous (co) lesions (63 flat, 12 inverted and 4 papillomatous ones), and 31 were non-condylomatous (nco) dysplasias/in situ carcinomas. the ...19836141079
characterization of two hpv-3 related papillomaviruses from common warts that are distinct clinically from flat warts or epidermodysplasia verruciformis.we have recently identified two unusual human papillomavirus (hpv) isolates while engaged in an ongoing study of wart disease in meat handlers and veterinarians. the papillomas from which these two viruses were isolated clinically resembled verruca vulgaris rather than either flat warts or epidermodysplasia verruciformis (ev). these two previously uncharacterized hpvs were molecularly cloned and characterized with respect to known hpvs. the genomes of the two viruses exhibited dramatically diffe ...19836302170
cervical papillomavirus infection in diethylstilbestrol-exposed progeny.histologic sections from cervical and vaginal biopsies showing dysplasia in 37 women exposed to diethylstilbestrol (des) in utero were stained for human papillomavirus structural antigens using an immunoperoxidase technique. forty-three percent of the lesions had detectable papillomavirus antigens. these findings indicate that a significant proportion of cervical dysplasia observed in des-exposed progeny is associated with papillomavirus infection.19836296741
isoantigen status in condyloma acuminata of the uterine cervix: an immunoperoxidase study.the immunoperoxidase technic was used to investigate the blood isoantigen status in condyloma acuminata, which is regarded as being caused by the human papillomavirus (hpv). since hpv is associated with epithelial atypias and intra-epithelial neoplasia, and since epithelial malignant transformation is associated with isoantigen loss, the purpose of the study was to determine if koilocytotic atypias are associated with isoantigen loss. complete isoantigen loss was seen in 33% of cases, partial lo ...19836297292
human papilloma virus 5-dna in a carcinoma of an epidermodysplasia verruciformis patient infected with various human papillomavirus types.an epidermodysplasia verruciformis patient suffering from generalized warts and a carcinoma at the forehead was found to be infected by at least six types and subtypes of human papillomaviruses. the central part of the carcinoma, however, harbored only human papillomavirus 5 dna. the dna persisted extrachromosomally in high genome copy number. in contrast to wart dna preparations, a significant part of the viral sequences in the carcinoma was present as oligomers, at least part of them being con ...19836297727
laryngeal papillomavirus infection during clinical remission.biopsy samples from 20 patients with a history of laryngeal papillomas were analyzed by southern blot hybridization for the presence of human papillomavirus dna. all papillomas examined contained papillomavirus dna sequences. four samples from uninvolved sites in two patients with active disease and eight samples from patients in remission also contained viral dna. no human papillomavirus dna was detected in a third patient seen during remission. these results explain the clinical pattern of fre ...19836302507
identification of three distinct papillomavirus genomes in a single patient with epidermodysplasia verruciformis.benign papillomas from a patient with a family history of epidermodysplasia verruciformis were examined for the presence of human papillomavirus (hpv) dna. employing stringent hybridization conditions that allow identification of a single type of hpv and radioactively labeled hpv-5 dna as a probe, we have detected hpv dna exhibiting sequence homology to hpv-5 in these tumors. restriction endonuclease analysis of this hpv dna confirmed its identity as hpv type 5. however, when hybridization was p ...19836300202
atypical immature metaplasia (aim). a subset of human papilloma virus infection of the cervix.atypical immature squamous metaplasia (aim) is a poorly understood lesion with uncertain biological and clinical significance. this report reviews 170 cases of cervical condylomata and 60 cases of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (cin ii/iii); aim was found in association with 34% of condylomata and 16% of high-grade cin. thirty-seven cases of aim alone were reviewed and nearly all presented with a cytologic diagnosis of cin i or condyloma and a colposcopic appearance of white epith ...19836303548

detection of human papillomavirus dna sequences in conjunctival papilloma.two histologically proven conjunctival papillomas (one from a 33-month-old boy and the other from a 28-year-old woman) were examined for the presence of papillomavirus by dna molecular hybridization. the first case, a recurrent tumor known to be positive for papillomavirus structural antigen, demonstrated human papillomavirus dna sequences that cross-hybridized to a human papillomavirus type 11 dna probe. the second case, an initial tumor, which was negative for papillomavirus structural antigen ...19836314814
sequences of bovine papillomavirus type 1 dna--functional and evolutionary implications.a swedish isolate of bovine papillomavirus type 1 (bpv1) was cloned and a 4807 base pairs long sequence was determined, covering the entire late region of the bpv1 genome and strategic parts of the early region. the sequence reveals two large uninterrupted reading frames, designated l1 and l2, which encode tentative polypeptides with molecular weights of 55.5 and 50.0 k. the promoter region for early transcription and the common 3'-end of early transcripts were identified in the sequence by perf ...19836304656
a papillomavirus dna from a cervical carcinoma and its prevalence in cancer biopsy samples from different geographic regions.dna from one biopsy sample of invasive cancer of the cervix contained sequences hybridizing with human papillomavirus (hpv) type 11 dna only under nonstringent conditions. this dna was molecularly cloned in lambda phage. under stringent conditions of hybridization it cross-hybridized to a minor extent (less than 0.1%) with hpv types 10, 14, and 15 and showed no homology with dna of other human hpv types. we therefore propose to designate it tentatively as hpv 16. hpv 16 dna was used as a probe t ...19836304740
[cervical condyloma and dysplasia: histological and virological correlation apropos of 100 cases].colposcopy and cytology have pointed at the frequency of cervical condylomas with special consideration to flat types. the association condyloma/dysplasia and the behavior of carcinomas in situ as sexually transmitted diseases, suggest that human papillomavirus (h. p. v.) could play a role in cervical cancer. 100 patients have undergone examination for coloscopy, cytology, histology and virology. dysplastic features were observed in 47 p. 100 and led to classify the lesions in 3 groups according ...19836305251
evidence suggesting human papillomavirus (hpv) etiology for the squamous cell papilloma of the paranasal sinus.an extensive squamous cell papilloma of the nasal cavity and also filling the entire left maxillary sinus is reported, which showed cytological features identical to the known cytopathic effects of human papillomavirus (hpv). immunoperoxidase staining disclosed a few cells with nuclei positive for hpv antigens. the findings are discussed in the light of other evidence suggesting a possible viral etiology of these lesions, i.e. the high recurrence rate. the present observations together with the ...19836305303
humoral and cell-mediated immunity to human papillomavirus type 1 (hpv-1) in human warts.the humoral and cell-mediated immune response to human papillomavirus type 1 (hpv-1) has been studied in 162 patients carrying papillomas of various clinical types: deep plantar wart or myrmecia, common wart, flat wart, and anogenital wart. circulating antibodies were detected by immunodiffusion and microcomplement fixation, using purified hpv-1 particles as type-specific antigen. a significant association between myrmecia and anti-hpv-1 antibodies was found (39% of the cases). cell-mediated imm ...19836305382
the pathology of head and neck tumors: papillomas of the upper aerodigestive tracts, part 18.the human papillomavirus class of dna viruses are more than circumstantially related to oral and airway papillomas. whether they are fully oncogenic, in the malignant sense, without other agents is questionable. recent advances in molecular virology and the use of genus-specific (common) antigen-antibody reactions have identified papillomavirus in laryngeal and oral papillomas. laryngeal and oral papillomas could be precancerous lesions, but they show a low-risk and long-time interval leading to ...19836305881
papillomavirus structural antigens in condyloma acuminatum of the male urethra.current developments in the technology of viral identification have rekindled interest in the relationship of human papillomaviruses, condylomata acuminata and neoplasia. although important observations are being reported in the female genital system the association of human papillomavirus and mucosal condylomata in male patients has not been well documented. using the horseradish peroxidase technique and antisera to papillomaviruses, viral antigens were identified in 62 per cent of male patient ...19836306287

immunohistochemical demonstration of human papilloma virus (hpv) antigens in oral squamous cell lesions.six oral squamous cell tumours classified as focal epithelial hyperplasia (feh), condyloma acuminatum (ca) and squamous cell papilloma (sqp) were subjected to indirect immunoperoxidase staining with anti-human papillomavirus (anti-hpv) antiserum to demonstrate the possible presence of hpv antigens in these lesions. the results are discussed in the light of the observations on hpv-lesions elsewhere in the body (in uterine cervix), and a suggestion is made to adopt the name condyloma for all those ...19836307342
human papillomavirus structural antigens in squamous papillomas of the male urethra.twenty-five squamous papillomas of the male urethra were examined for the presence of human papillomavirus (hpv) whole (structural) virion antigens by a peroxidase-antiperoxidase technique having immunospecificity against genus-specific (common) antigens of the papillomavirus genus. eleven of 25 (44 per cent) lesions were positive for hpv. the positive reaction was invariably intranuclear in the superficial epithelium. evidence suggests that these papillomas arise by hpv infection of metaplastic ...19836302329
serological evidence for the association of papillomavirus and cervical neoplasia.serum was collected from patients with anogenital warts, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (cin), and invasive squamous carcinoma of the uterine cervix. all sera were screened with a solid-phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for an igg antibody to a group-specific papillomavirus antigen. all three study groups had higher antibody levels than did control groups of children and adults. the invasive-cancer group had a higher geometric mean titre than the cin or anogenital wart groups. it is pr ...19836134887
establishment of a human keratinocyte cell line carrying complete human papillomavirus type 1 genomes: lack of vegetative viral dna synthesis upon keratinization.a human papillomavirus type 1 (hpv-1)/pbr322 recombinant plasmid was constructed consisting of two complete hpv-1 genomes in a head-to-tail arrangement, inserted into the bamhi site of pbr322. to obtain established human keratinocytes keratinocytes carrying dimeric hpv-1, origin-minus simian virus 40 (sv40) dna was used as a dominant transforming marker in co-transfection experiments performed with cultured human foetal keratinocytes. using the southern blotting technique, hpv-1 dna was detected ...19836190988
immunology of human papillomavirus: warts.great progress has been made over the last five years in our understanding of papillomavirus (pv) biology. new technology has enabled investigators to understand the relationship between the pv and its host. the pv cannot be cultured in vitro, and this has led to limitations for those wishing to study the biology of this virus. however, utilizing recombinant dna technology, investigators now have abundant quantities of human papillomavirus (hpv) dna for study. such hpv genomes may be labeled wit ...19836095237
on the nature of the deep cellular disturbances in human-papilloma-virus infection of the squamous cervical epithelium.in the squamous epithelium of the cervix, disturbed deep cells, usually regarded as dysplastic, often underlie superficial koilocytes. recognition of koilocytosis as a cytopathic effect of human papilloma virus (hpv) prompts reconsideration of the state of the deep cells, which could be non-dysplastic or dysplastic. in the dysplastic states hpv could be non-causative or causative. for dysplastic causation by hpv, a cell-differentiation hypothesis reconciles the coexistence in the epithelium of a ...19836136697
the relationship between human papillomavirus and lower genital intraepithelial neoplasia in immunosuppressed women.in a group of 20 immunosuppressed women with lower genital neoplasia, evidence of associated human papillomaviral infection was found in all patients on the basis of the histologic identification of koilocytes in the upper strata of areas of mild or moderate dysplasia. immunohistochemical study of similar areas disclosed human papilloma structural antigens in the lesions in 60%, while 50% had lesions in which human papilloma virions were detected by the electron microscope. an abnormal immunolog ...19846091459
