Transforming Properties of Beta-3 Human Papillomavirus E6 and E7 Proteins

ABSTRACT The beta human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are subdivided into 5 species (beta-1 to beta-5), and they were first identified in the skin. However, the beta-3 species appears to be more highly represented in the mucosal epithelia than in the skin. Functional studies have also highlighted that bet...
