Two human papillomavirus DNAs molecularly cloned from a patient with epidermodysplasia verruciformis: restriction maps

Acta Med Okayama. 1988 Aug;42(4):243-5. doi: 10.18926/AMO/30999.

Abstract

Two distinct human papillomavirus (HPV) DNAs (MY-1 and MY-2) were molecularly cloned from the benign skin lesions of a patient with epidermodysplasia verruciformis. The restriction map of MY-1 was the same as that of HPV 3a. The map of MY-2 appeared to be different from those of any HPVs reported in the literature. MY-2 did not cross-hybridize with MY-1 or the DNAs of HPV types 1, 2 and 4 under stringent conditions.
