Immunology of human papillomavirus: warts. 1983

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 with a radioisotope such as P32 and used as a "probe" in hybridization studies to see if a given tissue contains HPV DNA. No longer are we limited to electron microscopy and immune studies in our efforts to identify HPV within benign or malignant tissues. Ultimately, we hope to understand the relationship between the virus and its host. This paper will concentrate on one aspect of this relationship--the immunology of HPV.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007111 Immunity, Cellular Manifestations of the immune response which are mediated by antigen-sensitized T-lymphocytes via lymphokines or direct cytotoxicity. This takes place in the absence of circulating antibody or where antibody plays a subordinate role.

D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D000914 Antibodies, Viral Immunoglobulins produced in response to VIRAL ANTIGENS. Viral Antibodies
D014412 Tumor Virus Infections Infections produced by oncogenic viruses. The infections caused by DNA viruses are less numerous but more diverse than those caused by the RNA oncogenic viruses.

D014765 Viral Vaccines Suspensions of attenuated or killed viruses administered for the prevention or treatment of infectious viral disease. Viral Vaccine,Vaccine, Viral,Vaccines, Viral
D014860 Warts Benign epidermal proliferations or tumors; some are viral in origin. Verruca,Verrucas,Wart
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.
