SAMHD1 Regulates Human Papillomavirus 16-Induced Cell Proliferation and Viral Replication during Differentiation of Keratinocytes

ABSTRACT Human papillomaviruses induce a host of anogenital cancers, as well as oropharyngeal cancer (HPV+OPC); human papillomavirus 16 (HPV16) is causative in around 90% of HPV+OPC cases. Using telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) immortalized foreskin keratinocytes (N/Tert-1), we have identifie...
