Primary tissue culture of human wart-derived epidermal cells (keratinocytes). 1975

M Niimura, and F Pass, and R Wooley, and C A Soutor

The formation of human skin warts may depend on transformation by human papilloma virus or result from a productive virus infection. To explore this problem, methods were developed for the primary tissue culture of epidermal cells (keratinocytes) derived from wart tissues and normal skin. Wart-derived keratinocytes continued to proliferate for periods exceeding 3 months, but the patterns of cell growth were identical to normal keratinocytes. Electron microscopic and immunohistologic examination of wart-derived cultures did not evidence virion assembly.

D027383 Papillomaviridae A family of small, non-enveloped DNA viruses infecting birds and most mammals, especially humans. They are grouped into multiple genera, but the viruses are highly host-species specific and tissue-restricted. They are commonly divided into hundreds of papillomavirus "types", each with specific gene function and gene control regions, despite sequence homology. Human papillomaviruses are found in the genera ALPHAPAPILLOMAVIRUS; BETAPAPILLOMAVIRUS; GAMMAPAPILLOMAVIRUS; and MUPAPILLOMAVIRUS.
