“…Interestingly, in contrast to Tax-or HBxtransformed cells, E6-, E7-, or E6/E7-transformed cells rarely produce tumors when transplanted into nude mice [Kaur and McDougall, 1988;Pirisi et al, 1988;Woodworth et al, 1988]. However, numerous versions of E6, E7, and E6/E7 transgenic mice develop either benign tumors or cancers [Kondoh et al, 1991;Arbeit et al, 1993Arbeit et al, , 1994Griep et al, 1993;Lambert et al, 1993;Searle et al, 1994;Comerford et al, 1995;Herber et al, 1996;Song et al, 1999]. The frequency and type of malignancy seems to depend largely on the promoter used to drive expression of the viral oncogene(s).…”
