Mouse papillomavirus infection persists in mucosal tissues of an immunocompetent mouse strain and progresses to cancer

Abstract Mouse papillomavirus has shown broad tissue tropism in nude mice. Previous studies have tested cutaneous infections in different immunocompromised and immunocompetent mouse strains. In the current study, we examined mucosal infection in several immunocompetent and immunocompromised mouse st...
