cytologic detection of human papillomavirus infection.in recent years there has been a dramatic increase in the incidence of human papillomavirus infection of the female genital tract. since the primary diagnosis of this condition is almost invariably based on cytologic observations, the diagnostic criteria are of paramount importance. the diagnosis is usually based on the presence of koilocytes, or balloon cells, and dyskeratotic cells. although these cells remain fundamental to the diagnosis, it is important to recognize other possible cytologic ...19872829079
integration and transcription of human papillomavirus type 6 recombinant dna in mouse cells.human papillomavirus (hpv) dna is found in nature mostly in an episomal form. however, in permanent cell lines established from cervical carcinomas in which hpv sequences are present, they are usually integrated in the host genome. in vitro studies of hpv have been hampered because of the difficulty of stably maintaining hpv sequences in transfected cells. we have cloned the entire hpv6 genome into three vectors: pml2, a derivative of pbr322 lacking the "poison sequences"; p142-6, a plasmid cont ...19872829459
genital human papillomavirus infections and cancer: memorandum from a who meeting.cervical cancer ranks as the 2nd most frequent cause of cancer in women. research demonstrates that infection with the human papilloma virus (hpv) leads to cervical cancer. the clinical hpv lesion in both sexes is the pointed wart like tumor called condyloma acuminatum. detecting subclinical lesions varies, however, based on the genital organ and on the methods of examination. several types of hpv infect anogenital epithelia and the resultant disease is partially determined by hpv type. in ...19872830042

clinical manifestations and natural history of genital human papillomavirus infection.over the past decade, the ever-increasing volume of evidence implicating hpv types in genital neoplasia has stimulated much research interest into all aspects of the biology of this interesting group of viruses. this has led to the identification of an ever-increasing heterogeneity of hpv types. it is not surprising, therefore, that the clinical profile of disease associated with genital hpv types is much broader than previously recognized. knowledge of this clinical spectrum is mandatory to th ...19872829075
genital human papillomavirus infection. a growing concern.hpv infections of the genital tract are one of the most common sexually transmitted viral infections in the united states. data from std clinics and private physicians' offices reveal that genital warts, one manifestation of genital hpv infection, have been diagnosed more frequently in recent years. using a variety of diagnostic techniques, asymptomatic hpv infection has been identified in men and women and is probably much more common than clinically apparent infection.19872829076
detection of human papillomavirus infection by nucleic acid hybridization.single-stranded nucleic acid molecules that are complementary to each other will form hybrids under appropriate conditions. hybridization tests make use of this phenomenon and employ labeled molecules called probes to detect specific complementary molecules called targets. nucleic acid hybridization is the most sensitive method for detecting hpv in clinical specimens and the only one capable of identifying specific hpv types. there are many alternative hybridization test formats; most of them us ...19872829080
human papillomavirus infection and anogenital neoplasia: speculations for the future.hpv infections of the female genital tract are common. the association of these viruses with anogenital neoplasia has stimulated efforts to devise practical methods of detection and typing of hpv. although experimental diagnostic tests are available, they are, for the most part, complex and time consuming and are limited to medical centers researching hpv. new methods for preparing probes with higher sensitivities for hybridization tests will allow use of in-situ methods on formalin-fixed tissue ...19872829087
natural history of human papillomavirus infection of the anogenital tract.a number of viruses, most notably herpes virus type 2, have been suggested as etiological agents of cervical neoplasia. recent studies with human papillomaviruses, however, have demonstrated a remarkable association of a subgroup of these viruses with about 90% of benign, preinvasive and invasive lesions of the cervix and anogenital tract. the oncogenic potential of papillomaviruses has been demonstrated both in laboratory animals and in cultured cells. furthermore, susceptibility to certain hum ...19872832090

correlation of histology with human papillomavirus dna detection in the female genital tract.genital condyloma and intraepithelial neoplasia secondary to human papillomavirus (hpv) infection are characterized by perinuclear halos and marked nuclear atypia (koilocytotic atypia) on cytologic and histologic examination. however, at times the histologic findings, including the degree of nuclear atypia, may be suggestive but not absolutely diagnostic of an hpv related neoplasm. hpv dna sequences were detected in 63 and 56% of colposcopically visible vaginal and cervical lesions, respectively ...19882842237
association of human papillomavirus with vulvodynia and the vulvar vestibulitis syndrome.seven women presenting with longstanding introital dyspareunia and burning in the vulvar area were demonstrated, with dna hybridization techniques, to harbor human papillomavirus (hpv). three of the seven had intermittent, culture-negative dysuria coincident with the vulvar complaints. all the patients had mild to marked erythema of the openings of the minor vestibular glands, with exquisite tenderness on palpation with a cotton-tipped applicator. a regular histologic examination was equivocal f ...19882841460
disseminated warts and evolving squamous cell carcinoma in a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome developed widespread verrucous lesions on the hands, feet, and penis. histologic analysis revealed typical changes of verruca vulgaris and, from several sites, a transformation toward squamous cell carcinoma. southern blot analysis of deoxyribonucleic acid from penile wart tissue indicated the presence of a type of human papillomavirus that rarely is associated with carcinoma.19882842383
search for human papillomaviruses in normal, hyperplastic, and neoplastic endometria.twenty-eight endometria, including seven normal, five hyperplastic, and 16 neoplastic tissues, were analyzed with the southern blot hybridization technique for their possible association with human papillomaviruses (hpvs). human papillomavirus probes with types 6/11, 16, 18, and 31 failed to identify hpv dna in any of these tissues. the findings suggest that the endometrium is not a usual target for hpv infection, and that hpv is not likely to be a carcinogenic factor in the development of endom ...19882841629
human papillomavirus--a study of male sexual partners.male sexual partners of a cohort of women with genital-tract abnormalities which were associated with human papillomavirus infection were examined for evidence of infection with human papillomavirus. of the 214 male partners who were examined, 93.5% had visible genital lesions. of the 196 lesions that were biopsied, 72.5% showed histological evidence of infection with human papillomavirus, and only 20.4% of subjects with histological evidence of human papillomavirus were aware of a lesion. an un ...19882843730
high-risk factors for cervical cancer. an epidemiological study in swa/namibia.in an epidemiological study conducted in swa/namibia to document the prevalence of high-risk factors for cervical cancer 754 women belonging to a number of ethnic groups were examined. the prevalence of cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia and human papillomavirus infection was among the highest reported in the world. there was also an alarming incidence of other sexually transmitted diseases and disturbingly low usage of contraceptive methods. there is an urgent need for a comprehensive, well-or ...19882843990
morphologic and immunohistochemical evidence of human papillomavirus capsid antigen in smokeless tobacco keratoses from juveniles and adults.seventy-seven tissue samples from patients with either degree i, ii, or iii smokeless tobacco keratoses were examined. the tissues were evaluated for the presence of human papillomavirus (hpv) antigen by immunocytochemical staining. capsid antigen could be identified in sixteen cases (20.78%). this investigation further supports the concept that smokeless tobacco-associated leukoplakias can be correlated with hpv infection.19882846804
epithelial alterations adjacent to 111 vulvar carcinomas.material from 111 invasive primary vulvar carcinomas was reviewed in order to study the histopathologic changes adjacent to the neoplasia. the histopathologic characteristics of the adjacent tissue were divided into categories. dystrophic lesions were adjacent to invasive cancer in 57.6% of the cases, carcinoma in situ (cis) in 21.6% and epithelial changes suggestive of human papillomavirus infection in 18.9%. a spectrum of epithelial changes, ranging from hyperplastic dystrophy without atypia t ...19882841458
intraepithelial and invasive neoplasia of the vulva in association with human papillomavirus infection.colposcopic examination of 335 women with cytologically detected human papillomavirus (hpv) revealed involvement of the cervix in 316 patients (94%), vagina in 276 (82%) and vulva in 148 (44%). a symptom complex of pruritus and superficial dyspareunia was found in 98 of the 148 patients with vulvar infection (66%). histologic examination revealed hpv-associated vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (vin) in 11 of 148 biopsies (7.4%). follow-up of the patients with hpv infection with or without vin sh ...19882841459
[detection of human papillomavirus types 16 and 18 dna sequences in the screening of the cells related with carcinoma in situ of the uterine cervix--application of in situ hybridization for cytologic diagnosis].in order to investigate the relationship between the presence of human papillomavirus (hpv) dna and cervical carcinoma, we examined the cervical screening cells as well as the biopsy specimens obtained from 3 cases of severe dysplasia, 13 cases of carcinoma in situ (cis) and 2 cases of microinvasive carcinoma for the presence of hpv types 6, 11, 16 and 18 dna by dna-dna in situ hybridization using the biotinylated hpv dna probes. the results of in situ hybridization analysis revealed that hpv 16 ...19882844927
managing women with human papillomavirus changes in cervical cytology.of 86 women with cervical cytological evidence of human papillomavirus (hpv) infection who underwent colposcopy, 55 yielded histological confirmation of hpv infection and 17 of them had cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (cin). of 51 women followed up six months after cryotherapy of their cervical lesions, 46 showed no evidence of hpv infection in their cervices. of the patients with cin lesions, only one out of the 16 followed up had persistent cin ii six months after treatment, which gave a cl ...19882844652
non-isotopic detection of in situ nucleic acid in cervix: an updated protocol.recently, sensitive non-isotopic in situ hybridisation (nish) methodology for the detection of human dna and human papilloma virus (hpv) dna in archival paraffin blocks of cervix was described. an amended protocol, now used in this laboratory for detection of these genes by nish is presented. the amendments include the following: protease digestion at 37 degrees c; tissue dehydration in air rather than ethanol; stringency washing in formamide solution; blocking non-specific binding of avidin alk ...19882844861
histologic correlates of papillomavirus infection of the vagina.vaginal warts (condylomata) secondary to human papillomavirus (hpv) infection are most easily identified when perinuclear halos are seen with clear-cut nuclear atypia (koilocytotic atypia) in the superficial cells of the lesion. however, vaginal lesions clinically resembling condylomata may exhibit lesser degrees of nuclear atypia with findings suggestive of, but not typical for, the presence of hpv. the diagnosis and management of such lesions are unclear. we correlated histologic findings with ...19882845317
interplay of viral and cellular proteins along the long control region of human papillomavirus type 18.the long control region of human genital papillomavirus type 18 harbors transcription regulatory elements, such as the e6 promoter and a cell type-specific enhancer independent of the e2 protein. by performing dnase i footprint experiments in vitro with protein extracts from different cell lines and tissues we searched for cellular factors interacting with the totality of the control region. we detected a total of eight different protected sites; most of them were found with all the extracts. tw ...19882845145
the biology and significance of human papillomavirus infections in the genital tract.a variety of human papillomavirus (hpv) types infect the anogenital mucosa, giving rise to lesions that differ in clinical appearance, histology, and risk of malignant progression. certain high-risk types (hpvs 16, 18, 31, 33, 35 and 39) have a strong association with high-grade epithelial neoplasia and invasive carcinomas of the anogenital tract. cancer appears to have a multifactorial etiology, and hpv infection alone is probably insufficient for malignant transformation. the consistent associ ...19882847433
expression of human papillomavirus types 16 and 18 dna sequences in cervical carcinoma cell lines.a total of six cervical carcinoma cell lines, of which two contained human papillomavirus (hpv) type 16 and four contained hpv type 18 dna, were examined for viral rna expression by spot-blot hybridization. all six cell lines contained hpv-specific cytoplasmic poly(a)-containing rna. the same rna species were detected in both cytoplasmic and polysomal fractions, indicating nonselective translation of these messages into protein products. primer extension analysis of rna from the cell lines revea ...19882846777
induction of anchorage-independent growth of human embryonic fibroblasts with a deletion in the short arm of chromosome 11 by human papillomavirus type 16 dna.human embryonic fibroblasts with a large deletion (11p11.11p15.1) in the short arm of one chromosome 11 (del-11 cells) appeared to be susceptible to transformation by early human papillomavirus type 16 (hpv-16) dna, whereas diploid human embryonic fibroblasts were not. this difference in susceptibility might be explained by the absence of a tumor suppressor gene located within the deleted part on the short arm of chromosome 11. the presence of abundant viral early-gene transcripts in transformed ...19882846869
penile human papillomavirus infection in consorts of women with genital human papillomavirus infection. a pilot study.a study determined the incidence of human papillomavirus (hpv) on genitalia of male consorts of women with histologically proven genital hpv lesions to be 50%.19882847335
high prevalence of genital tract papillomavirus infection in female adolescents.to investigate clinical condyloma, abnormal cervical cytologic findings, and evidence of human papillomavirus infections, 89 adolescent girls were examined. cellular dnas extracted from exfoliated cervical cells were examined for human papillomavirus genomic sequences by southern transfer hybridization using 32p-labeled human papillomavirus dna probes. human papillomavirus sequences were detected in 12 (13%) young women, abnormal cytologic specimens in 21 (24%), and vulvar condylomas in 12 (13%) ...19882845351
glucocorticoid-dependent oncogenic transformation by type 16 but not type 11 human papilloma virus dna.squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix is one of the most common cancers among women. correlation between human papilloma virus (hpv) infection of the uterine cervix and the development of cervical neoplasia has been established. more recent studies have shown the presence and expression of integrated hpv types 16 and 18 dna sequences in 70-80% of cervical tumours and tumour cell lines. it has been suggested that, in addition to hpvs, other agents such as hormones and tobacco products act ...19882847052
langerhans' cells and subtypes of human papillomavirus in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia.there is strong circumstantial evidence that human papillomavirus is a cofactor in the development of cervical neoplasia. systemic immunosuppression has also been implicated. a study was therefore carried out examining the relation between subtypes of human papillomavirus and local immunocompetent cells in the cervix. colposcopically directed punch biopsy specimens were taken from normal cervix and from histologically proved cervical intraepithelial neoplasia for immunohistochemical studies. hum ...19882846100
multicentric intraepithelial neoplasia involving the vulva. clinical features and association with human papillomavirus and herpes simplex virus.sixteen of 46 patients (35%) with grade 3 vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (vin 3) were found to have an additional site of lower genital tract squamous cell neoplasia, primarily in the cervix. the frequency of multicentricity decreased significantly with age. in addition, patients with multicentric disease (involving the vagina and/or cervix in addition to the vulva) had a significantly higher frequency of multifocal disease involving the vulva (involving more than one location on the vulva) an ...19882844383
genital papillomavirus infection after treatment for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (cin) iii.genital human papillomavirus (hpv) infection was studied in 150 women after conization for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade three (cin iii). colposcopically directed biopsies were taken from the cervix and vulva for histopathological diagnosis. 77 specimens were further analyzed immunohistochemically for the presence of hpv capsid antigen. in ten randomly selected cervical biopsies cellular dna was dot blot hybridized with hpv 6/11 and 16/18 dna probes. genital warts were seen in 10 (7%) ...19882844389
constitutive and steroid hormone regulated transcriptional enhancer elements in the genome of the human papilloma virus type 16, which is associated with neoplasia of the cervix.the 7905 bp genomic dna of the human papilloma virus type 16 (hpv-16), which is associated with invasive cervical neoplasia, contains a 832 bp upstream regulatory region (urr) supposed to contain most of its cis-acting promoter elements. a search for dna sequences known to bind transcription factors has resulted in the recognition of numerous consensus sequences. a functional analysis of a segment of this urr containing some of these consensus sequences has resulted in the recognition of an enha ...19882846169
paget's disease of the vulva: search for herpes simplex virus antigens and human papillomavirus antigen and dna.specimens from three women with paget's disease of the vulva were tested for presence of herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv2) antigens and human papillomavirus (hpv) antigen and dna. in one of the lesions, the hsv2-associated antigen icsp 34/35 was demonstrated. neither hpv antigens nor hpv dna were detected in the lesions.19882846413
