RESUMO
Previously, we observed sequential two-step alteration, growth stimulation, and progression to a more malignant state in NIH 3T3 cells transfected by human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) DNA. In this study, we prepared a cDNA library from RNA extracted from cells transfected with the HPV-16 DNA and isolated cDNA clones which had growth-stimulating activity. Analysis of these cDNA clones indicated that the E7 open reading frame alone is responsible for inducing both steps of this cell transformation.
