Abstract

Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) infect squamous epithelium and establish their genomes as episomes in proliferating basal cells. As infected cells differentiate, the viral DNA is amplified to high copy number and infectious virus is produced. Viral production has not yet been observed in vitro due to the inability of standard culture methods to duplicate most stages of epithelial differentiation. In this study, we have examined a cell line derived from a low-grade cervical lesion and found that it contained episomal copies of an HPV-31 subtype, HPV-31b, at approximately 50 copies per cell. When allowed to stratify at the air-liquid interface of in vitro raft cultures, this cell line differentiates in a manner which histologically resembles a low-grade cervical lesion in vivo. We have observed the amplification of HPV-31b genomes in distinct foci in the upper portion of the in vitro-stratified epithelium similar to that found in productive HPV infections in vivo. Although transcripts from the late region of HPV-31b were also detected specifically in stratified raft cultures, no capsid protein was found. These studies duplicate one important aspect of a productive HPV infection in vitro, the differentiation-dependent amplification of papillomavirus genomes.

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.
