Abstract

Human papillomavirus type 16 DNA and RNA were characterized in the cervical cancer-derived CaSki cell line, which contains only integrated DNA, and in a cervical cancer, which contains predominantly plasmid DNA. In both, a major RNA can code for the early open reading frame E7 and a minor one can code for E6. The cervical cancer, but not the CaSki cell line, contains a minor RNA that can code for an intact E2 protein, and this may relate to the continued presence of plasmid DNA. The RNA mapping data suggest that the poly(A)+ RNA is transcribed from a minor fraction of the several hundred gene copies present, and in the cervical cancer these genomes appear to be integrated. The E7 protein has been identified in CaSki cells and the prevalence of its mRNA suggests a possible function in progression to, or long-term maintenance of, the malignant state.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
