Jd. Meissner, Nucleotide sequences and further characterization of human papillomavirus DNA present in the CaSki, SiHa and HeLa cervical carcinoma cell lines, J GEN VIROL, 80, 1999, pp. 1725-1733
The complete nucleotide sequences of the human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-
16) variants present in the CaSki and SiHa cervical carcinoma cell lines an
d the primary subgenomic HPV-18 variant present in the HeLa cervical carcin
oma cell line were determined using overlapping bulk PCR products as templa
tes. PCR-based methods were also used to characterize five previously unrep
orted CaSki HPV-16 genomic disruptions and the 5' cellular-viral junction c
ommon to all HeLa HPV-18 subgenomic structures.
