Human papillomaviruses especially type 16 and 18 are associated with cervical cancer. These viruses encode transforming proteins which are capable of binding and form complexes with p53 protein. Tumour-tissue samples from women with cervical cancer as well as normal controls were analysed for the presence of HPV and the expression of p53 by in situ hybridization and PCR analysis. The results showed that HPV 16 and 18 predominated in all pathological conditions and that p53 expression was related to the presence of certain types of HPV. The significance of HPV in cervical carcinoma is well demonstrated.

D016133 Polymerase Chain Reaction In vitro method for producing large amounts of specific DNA or RNA fragments of defined length and sequence from small amounts of short oligonucleotide flanking sequences (primers). The essential steps include thermal denaturation of the double-stranded target molecules, annealing of the primers to their complementary sequences, and extension of the annealed primers by enzymatic synthesis with DNA polymerase. The reaction is efficient, specific, and extremely sensitive. Uses for the reaction include disease diagnosis, detection of difficult-to-isolate pathogens, mutation analysis, genetic testing, DNA sequencing, and analyzing evolutionary relationships.

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.
