Recognition of Conserved Amino Acid Motifs of Common Viruses and Its Role in Autoimmunity (2005)

Mireia Sospedra, Yingdong Zhao, Harald Zur Hausen, Paolo A. Muraro, Christa Hamashin, ...

The triggers of autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS) remain elusive. Epidemiological studies suggest that common pathogens can exacerbate and also induce MS, but it has been difficult...

Human Papillomaviruses in Buschke-Lowenstein Tumors: Physical State of the DNA and Identification of a Tandem Duplication in the Noncoding Region of a Human Papillomavirus 6 Subtype (1986)

Boshart, Michael, Hausen, Harald Zur

Six Buschke-Löwenstein tumors, i.e., highly differentiated squamous cell tumors of the genital region, were shown to contain human papillomavirus 6 (HPV 6) or HPV 11 genomes. The viral DNA was found...

A new type of papillomavirus DNA, its presence in genital cancer biopsies and in cell lines derived from cervical cancer (1984)

Boshart, Michael, Gissmann, Lutz, Ikenberg, Hans, Kleinheinz, Andreas, Scheurlen, Wolfram, Hausen, Harald Zur

DNA of a new papillomavirus type was cloned from a cervical carcinoma biopsy. Two EcoRI clones of 7.8 and 6.9 kb in length were obtained, the latter contained a 900-bp deletion. The BamHI fragments...

A Synthetic E7 Gene of Human Papillomavirus Type 16 That Yields Enhanced Expression of the Protein in Mammalian Cells and Is Useful for DNA Immunization Studies

Cid-Arregui, Angel, Juárez, Victoria, Hausen, Harald Zur

A synthetic E7 gene of human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 was generated that consists entirely of preferred human codons. Expression analysis of the synthetic E7 gene in human and animal cells showed...

Tumor initiators and promoters in the induction of Epstein—Barr virus

Hausen, Harald Zur, Bornkamm, Georg W., Schmidt, Rainer, Hecker, Erich

The effect of various tumor initiators and promoters on induction of persisting Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in different lines of lymphoblastoid cells was analyzed. Neither five polycyclic aromatic...
