A recombinant vaccinia virus encoding human papillomavirus types 16 and 18, E6 and E7 proteins as immunotherapy for cervical cancer

TL;DR: Examination of the clinical and environmental safety and immunogenicity in the first clinical trial of a live recombinant vaccinia virus expressing the E6 and E7 proteins of HPV 16 and 18 found vaccination resulted in no significant clinical side-effects and there was no environmental contamination by live TA-HPV.
Journal ArticleDOI

Leaky Scanning Is the Predominant Mechanism for Translation of Human Papillomavirus Type 16 E7 Oncoprotein from E6/E7 Bicistronic mRNA

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the E 6 region of HPV-16 comprises features that sponsor both translation of the E6 protein and enhancement of translation at a downstream site, and a model in which E7 translation is facilitated by an extreme degree of leaky scanning, requiring the negotiation of 13 upstream AUGs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human papillomavirus type 16 E6/E7-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes in women with cervical neoplasia

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that HPV 16 oncogene‐specific mCTLp are present in women with HPV 16‐positive CIN prior to any intervention, and the role of naturally occurring m CTLp in the protection against HPV‐associated cervical neoplasia remains to be established.
Journal ArticleDOI

Translation of the human papillomavirus type 16 E7 oncoprotein from bicistronic mRNA is independent of splicing events within the E6 open reading frame.

TL;DR: It was found, unexpectedly, that E7 protein could be translated from full-length bicistronic E6-E7 mRNAs, and a model in which the failure of 40S ribosomal initiation complexes to recognize the E6 AUG renders them capable of proceeding efficiently to translate E7 was supported.
