In *Papillomaviruses *

benign warts have ___________ (unintegrated) DNA

A

EPISOMAL

9
Q

In Papillomaviruses

malignant cancers have DNA that is _________ into the host DNA,

A

This means integration is necessary for malignant transformation

10
Q

In Papillomaviruses

The viral oncogenes are

E6 and E7

12
Q

A

**E6 **prevents p53 from doing apoptosis on damaged cells

13
Q

What is the job of viral oncogene **E7 **in Papillomaviruses?

A

cutaneous

24

What is the difference between a fibropapilloma and a cutaneous papilloma?

A

Cutaneous papillomas lack a fibrous core

and fibropapillomas are caused by Bovine Types 1, 2, and 5

while cutaneous papillomas are caused by Bovine Type 3 only
