A Novel Model for Papillomavirus-Mediated Anal Disease and Cancer Using the Mouse Papillomavirus

ABSTRACT Up to 95% of all anal cancers are associated with infection by human papillomavirus (HPV); however, no established preclinical model exists for high-grade anal disease and cancer mediated by a natural papillomavirus infection. To establish an infection-mediated model, we infected both immun...
