  Molecular and Virological Study of Nuclear Co-Localization of High Oncogenic Risk HPV16 and HPV18 (E6)/ (E7) Genes Products Expressions and Overexpression of PRb Protein in Tissue from Laryngeal Lesions
  Author(s): Tamara Amer Taha*
  
  Over 200 of different types of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) have been described. High oncogenic HPV16 and HPV18 also have been related to subsets of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) and laryngeal lesions. It's been reported that elevated levels of E6 and E7 expressions of hrHPV genotypes as well as tumor suppressor genes expression might have a role in pathogenesis and tumor genesis. The aim of this study is to detect the nuclear co-localization of high risk oncogenes HPV16 and HPV18 (E6)/(E7) proteins expressions with overexpression tumor suppressor gene Rb protein in patients with different types of laryngeal lesions. A retrospective study hypothesis, one hundred and 57 formalin- fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) specimens were collected. Molecular detection and genotyping of high risk HPV 16 and 18 genotypes were conducted by Chromogenic In Situ Hybridiz.. Read More»
