Description and Table of Contents

Description

Over the past decade, areas of study within the field of human papillomavirus research have greatly expanded. This broadening interest is due to the discovery of the association of specific types of these viruses with certain human malignancies, such as cervical carcinoma. "Papillomaviruses" is a state-of-the-art review of recent progress in this field. It offers contributions from basic scientists and clinical investigators in diverse fields and covers such topics as: the transforming functions and carcinogenic potential of papillomaviruses; squamous epithelial cells; viral pathogenesis; papillomavirus transcriptional regulation; virus host cell interactions and the diagnosis, immunology and therapy of human papillomavirus diseases. The book also covers HPV pathogenesis, animal papillomaviruses, transcriptional regulation, molecular biology and clinical issues relating to human papillomavirus infections. Chapters include reviews of viral or cellular systems related to the topic under discussion, for a broader- ranging picture of research possibilities, as well as a provocative look at future investigative trends.
