Abstract
Over the past few years, cases of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in nail Bowen's disease have been reported. This disease presents diagnostic challenges due to its similarity to nail malignant melanoma, particularly with respect to the clinical manifestation of black nail streaks. While skin biopsy is usually employed for diagnosis, it is an invasive procedure. We report the case of a 52-year-old healthy Japanese male with a pigmented streak on the nail of the fourth finger of his right hand, which had extended from the central to the lateral nail fold within 4 months. Dermoscopic examination revealed a dark-brown pigmented band with splinter microhemorrhage. Clinically, nail Bowen's disease was suspected. The lesion was excised in strips under local anesthesia. Histopathological examination revealed hyperkeratosis, parakeratosis, papillomatosis, and dyskeratotic cells with atypical nuclei irregularly arranged. Immunohistochemistry using anti-HPV L1 antibody detected HPV-positive cells in the upper epidermis and stratum corneum of the nail matrix. Mucosal high-risk HPV type 58 DNA was detected from brush cytology of the keratotic surface prior to surgery, which was confirmed in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded excised samples using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and subsequent direct DNA sequencing. Our case highlights HPV type 58 as a potential causative agent of nail Bowen's disease and shows that brush cytology of the surface material prior to excision may be a useful and less invasive way for mucosal high-risk HPV detection. PCR analysis of the nail surface could serve as a supplementary diagnostic tool for nail Bowen's disease.

Phylogenetic analysis of Alphapapillomavirus based on L1, E6 and E7 regions suggests that carcinogenicity and tissue tropism have appeared multiple times during viral evolution. INFECTION GENETICS AND EVOLUTION 2018; 67:210-221.

Abstract
Members of the Alphapapillomavirus genus are causative agents for cervix cancer and benign lesions in humans. These viruses are classified according to sequence similarities in their L1 region. Yet, viral carcinogenicity has been associated with variations in the proteins encoded by the E6 and E7 genes. In order to relate evolutionary history with origin of carcinogenicity, we performed phylogenetic reconstructions using both nucleotide and predicted amino acid sequences of the L1, E6 and E7 genes. Whilst phylogenetic analysis of L1 reconstructed genus evolutionary history, phylogenies based on E6 and E7 proteins support the idea that mutations at amino acids S/Tx [V/L] (E6) and LxCxE (E7) might be responsible for carcinogenic potential. These findings indicate that virulence within Alphapapillomavirus have appeared multiple times during evolution. Our results reveal that oncogenic potential is not a monophyletic clade-specific adaptation but might be the result of positive selection on random mutations occurring on proteins involved in host infection during viral diversification.

Ancient Evolution and Dispersion of Human Papillomavirus 58 Variants. J Virol 2017; 91:JVI.01285-17. [PMID: 28794033 PMCID: PMC5640864 DOI: 10.1128/jvi.01285-17] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2017] [Accepted: 08/01/2017] [Indexed: 01/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Human papillomavirus 58 (HPV58) is found in 10 to 18% of cervical cancers in East Asia but is rather uncommon elsewhere. The distribution and oncogenic potential of HPV58 variants appear to be heterogeneous, since the E7 T20I/G63S variant is more prevalent in East Asia and confers a 7- to 9-fold-higher risk of cervical precancer and cancer. However, the underlying genomic mechanisms that explain the geographic and carcinogenic diversity of HPV58 variants are still poorly understood. In this study, we used a combination of phylogenetic analyses and bioinformatics to investigate the deep evolutionary history of HPV58 complete genome variants. The initial splitting of HPV58 variants was estimated to occur 478,600 years ago (95% highest posterior density [HPD], 391,000 to 569,600 years ago). This divergence time is well within the era of speciation between Homo sapiens and Neanderthals/Denisovans and around three times longer than the modern Homo sapiens divergence times. The expansion of present-day variants in Eurasia could be the consequence of viral transmission from Neanderthals/Denisovans to non-African modern human populations through gene flow. A whole-genome sequence signature analysis identified 3 amino acid changes, 16 synonymous nucleotide changes, and a 12-bp insertion strongly associated with the E7 T20I/G63S variant that represents the A3 sublineage and carries higher carcinogenetic potential. Compared with the capsid proteins, the oncogenes E7 and E6 had increased substitution rates indicative of higher selection pressure. These data provide a comprehensive evolutionary history and genomic basis of HPV58 variants to assist further investigation of carcinogenic association and the development of diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.IMPORTANCE Papillomaviruses (PVs) are an ancient and heterogeneous group of double-stranded DNA viruses that preferentially infect the cutaneous and mucocutaneous epithelia of vertebrates. Persistent infection by specific oncogenic human papillomaviruses (HPVs), including HPV58, has been established as the primary cause of cervical cancer. In this work, we reveal the complex evolutionary history of HPV58 variants that explains the heterogeneity of oncogenic potential and geographic distribution. Our data suggest that HPV58 variants may have coevolved with archaic hominins and dispersed across the planet through host interbreeding and gene flow. Certain genes and codons of HPV58 variants representing higher carcinogenic potential and/or that are under positive selection may have important implications for viral host specificity, pathogenesis, and disease prevention.

Abstract
To enable rational multi-epitope vaccine and diagnostic antigen design, it is imperative to delineate complete IgG-epitome of the protein. Here, we describe results of IgG-epitome decoding of three proteins from high-risk (HR-) oncogenic human papillomavirus type 58 (HPV58). To reveal their entire epitomes, employing peptide biosynthetic approach, 30 precise linear B-cell epitopes (BCEs) were mapped on E6, E7 and L1 proteins using rabbits antisera to the respective recombinant proteins. Using sequence alignment based on BCE minimal motif, the specificity and conservativeness of each mapped BCE were delineated mainly among known HR-HPVs, including finding 3 broadly antibody cross-reactive BCEs of L1 that each covers almost all HR-HPVs. Western blots revealed that 13 of the 18 BCEs within L1-epitome were recognized by murine antisera to HPV58 virus-like particles, suggesting that these are antibody accessible BCEs. Also, a highly conserved epitope (YGD/XTL) of E6 was found to exist only in known common HR-HPVs, which could be used as the first peptide reference marker for judging HR-HPVs. Altogether, this study provides systemic and exhaustive information on linear BCEs of HR-HPV58 that will facilitate development of novel multi-epitope diagnostic reagents/chips for testing viral antibodies and ‘universal’ preventive HPV peptide vaccine based on L1 conserved BCEs.

Abstract
Background Genome variations in human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are common and have been widely investigated in the past two decades. HPV genotyping depends on the finding of the viral genome variations in the L1 ORF. Other parts of the viral genome variations have also been implicated as a possible genetic factor in viral pathogenesis and/or oncogenicity. Results In this study, the HPV58 genome in cervical lesions was completely sequenced both by rolling-circle amplification of total cell DNA and deep sequencing (RCA-seq) and by long PCR template cloning and sequencing. By comparison of three HPV58 genome sequences decoded from three clinical samples to reference HPV-58, we demonstrated that RCA-seq is much more accurate than long-PCR template cloning and sequencing in decoding HPV58 genome. Three HPV58 genomes decoded by RCA-seq displayed a total of 52 nucleotide substitutions from reference HPV58, which could be verified by long PCR template cloning and sequencing. However, the long PCR template cloning and sequencing led to additional nucleotide substitutions, insertions, and deletions from an authentic HPV58 genome in a clinical sample, which vary from one cloned sequence to another. Because the inherited error-prone nature of Tgo DNA polymerase used in preparation of the long PCR templates of HPV58 genome from the clinical samples, the measurable error rate in incorporation of nucleotide into an elongating DNA template was about 0.149% ±0.038% in our studies. Conclusions Since PCR template cloning and sequencing is widely used in identification of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), our data indicate that a serious caution should be taken in finding of true SNPs in various genetic studies.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus type 58 (HPV58) is relatively prevalent in China and other Asian countries. In this study, the HPV58 genome in cervical lesions was decoded from five grade 2 or 3 cervical intraepithelial neoplasia lesion (CIN2/3) samples and five cervical cancer tissues using rolling-circle amplification of total cell DNA and deep sequencing and verified by whole-genome cloning and sequencing. HPV58 isolates from China feature a total of 52 nucleotide substitutions (0.66%) from the reference HPV58 sequence, which appear mainly in two regions, with 12 from nucleotides (nt) 3430 to 4136 covering the E2/E4/E5 open reading frames (ORFs) and 13 from nt 4621 to 5540 covering the L2 ORF; these could be grouped as HPV58 Chinese Zhejiang-1, -2, and -3 (CNZJ-1, -2, and -3) according to their sequence similarities and restriction enzyme digestion. Phylogenetically, CNZJ-3 is similar to the reference HPV58 sublineage A1 sequence. The other two are close to sublineage A2. Analysis of cervical lesion-derived RNA revealed abundant HPV58 early transcripts spliced at the E6 and E1/E2 ORFs, where two 5' splice sites at nt 232 and nt 898 and two 3' splice sites at nt 510 and nt 3355 can be identified. Thus, our study represents the first genome-wide analysis of HPV58 and its expression in cervical lesions.

Abstract
HPV 58 is detected commonly in cervical cancer in East Asian countries. To evaluate the HPV 58 physical state, the amplification of papillomavirus oncogene transcripts (APOT) and hybridisation assays were established. Episome- and integrate-derived transcripts were confirmed by direct sequencing. Twenty-nine HPV 58 positive samples from various cervical lesions were used. The results showed that the episome-derived transcripts were recognised as two major specific amplified products (1040 and 714 bp). Two splice donor sites were mapped to the 5' splice site of the E1 gene on SD898 and SD899 and spliced to the 3' acceptor site of the E4 gene on SA3353, SA3356 and SA3365. The episome-derived transcripts were found 100% in normal cervical epithelia and low-grade lesions (9/9 cases) while the integrate-derived transcripts were detected in 13.3% of high-grade lesions (2/15 cases) and in 20% of carcinomas (1/5 cases). HPV 58 integration sites were found on chromosomes 4q21, 12q24 and 18q12. Using the established APOT assay, the results revealed not only novel information on the HPV 58 transcription patterns of episomal transcripts, but also integration site. The APOT assay is a reliable and useful tool for the detection of the HPV 58 physical state and its oncogene expression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Human papillomavirus (HPV) type 58 is the second most prevalent virus infection among Chinese women. To develop an HPV58 vaccine that combines both prophylactic and therapeutic functions, we generate a chimeric virus-like particle (cVLP). METHODS The cVLPs contain both whole length L1 and parts of E7 peptides either from E7 amino acids (aa) 50 to aa72 or from E7 aa4 to aa12. The HPV58 L1-E7aa50-72 and L1-E7aa4-12 fusion proteins were revealed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and confirmed by Western blot (Supplementary Digital Content 1, http://links.lww.com/IGC/A40, which shows alignment of the protein sequence between HPV58 L1-E7aa50-72/4-12 and standard sequence). Protein folding and location of cVLPs were identified by transmission electron microscope. The immunogenicity of the fusion protein was tested by enzyme-linked immunospot assay. RESULTS Transmission electron microscope showed that the fusion protein formed cVLPs by self-assembly and the majority of particles located in the nucleus of the sf-9 insect cells. The cVLPs displayed a strong ability to agglutinate erythrocytes, which is distinguished from the parental VLPs. In addition, the purified HPV58 L1-E7aa50-72 or L1-E7aa4-12 fusion protein induced significant numbers of interferon γ-expressing E7aa50-72- or E7aa4-12-specific CD8 T cells. DISCUSSION Our results indicate that the insertion of the E7aa50-72 or E7aa4-12 peptides behind L1 did not disrupt the assembly of cVLPs and provided potent immunogenicity and bioactivity, which created a powerful basis for further preparations of HPV58 vaccines with prophylactic and therapeutic effects for the treatment of HPV58-related diseases including cervical cancer.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) 52 and 58 are oncogenic HPV types prevalent in Asia. Our study aims to explore intratypic variants of HPV 52 and 58 in Taiwan. A total of 11,923 women were enrolled from seven townships in 1991-1992. HPV DNA in their cervical cells was detected and typed by EasyChip® HPV blot. Among 424 participants infected with HPV 52 and/or 58, nucleotide variations were determined in cervical cell samples of 406 participants by the polymerase chain reaction sequencing of the long control region, E6 and E7 genes. Nonprototype-like variants including lineages B and C were detected in 278 (99.3%) of 280 HPV 52 samples. The prototype and prototype-like group (lineage A) of HPV58 was found in 132 (98.5%) of 134 HPV 58 samples, with sublineage A1, A2 and A3 variant in 14.2, 27.6 and 56.7%, respectively. Among women infected with single HPV 52 type, the C variant (vs. B variant) was associated with an increased prevalence of cytologically diagnosed high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion or worse lesions showing an age-adjusted odds ratio (95% confidence interval, CI) of 5.2 (1.0-27.6) and an increased prevalence of histologically confirmed high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia or more severe lesions with an age-adjusted odds ratio (95% CI) of 7.6 (1.3-43.8). It was concluded that frequency distributions of HPV 52 and 58 variants in Taiwan were different from those in European and American populations. The association between C variant of HPV 52 and prevalence of cervical neoplasia needs further validation.

Abstract
Infection with some genotypes of human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most important risk factor associated with cervical cancer (CC). Throughout the world, HPV type 58 prevalence varies from one region to another; it is higher in women from certain countries in Asia and Latin America, such as China and Mexico. Although intratypic variants have been reported on a few occasions, our knowledge about HPV 58 genetic variation remains limited. Therefore, this work aims to (i) determine the prevalence of HPV type 58 amongst Mexican women with invasive CC or precursor lesions and (ii) identify HPV 58 sequence variants. One hundred and forty five colposcopy clinic patients were studied. Genotyping of HPV 16, 18 and 58 was determined by specific nested PCR and HPV 58 variants were detected by direct sequencing. The general prevalence of HPV was 51.7% (75/145). HPV 16 was found in 30.6% (23/75) and HPV 58 in 24% (18/75) of the patients. HPV 18 was not identified in patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) grade I; it was only found in those with CIN II, with a prevalence of 6.8% (3/44). In patients with CC, the prevalence of HPV 16 and 58 was 78.9%. Regarding HPV 58 variants, 94.4% of the HPV 58 sequences were identical to the prototype strain, whereas one sample showed changes at a single nucleotide. This study demonstrates a high prevalence of HPV 58 and a low genetic variability of E6 sequences amongst Mexican colposcopy patients.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus 58 (HPV58) is one type of HPV with high risk of causing cervical cancer. Unusually high prevalence of HPV58 has been reported in Asia, Africa and some other areas. However, due to the scattered distribution of global data, in addition to the lack of data of some HPV58 high-incidence nations and regions, like Mainland China, a comprehensive analysis of the global geographical distribution of HPV58 remains blank so far. In this study, HPV58 from the human cervical cancer tissue was detected in Mainland China, and 14 new HPV58-E6/L1 gene sequences were obtained. Moreover, phylogeographic analysis has been conducted combining the HPV58 sequences that have been deposited in GenBank since 1985. The study result shows that the sequences detected from the Shanghai, Jiangsu and Sichuan areas are homologous with those found in the past from Hong Kong and Xi'an, China, as well as Japan and other Southeast Asian areas. Furthermore, Western Africa is considered to be the "root" source of the HPV58 variant, while Mainland China and Southeast Asia are "transit points" and the new sources of HPV58 after receiving the isolates from the "root" source; like HPV16 and HPV18, the HPV58 might also be one of the major HPV types associated with the development and spread of cervical cancer.

Abstract
We have analyzed E6 proteins of 19 papillomaviruses able to infect genital tissue with regard to their ability to degrade p53 and the thus far unknown immortalization potential of the genomes of human papillomaviruses (HPV) 53, 56, 58, 61, 66, and 82 in primary human keratinocytes. E6 proteins of HPV types 16, 18, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, and 66, defined as high-risk types, were able to induce p53 degradation in vitro, and HPV18-, HPV56-, and HPV58-immortalized keratinocytes revealed markedly reduced levels of p53. In contrast, the E6 proteins of HPV6 and 11 and HPV44, 54, and 61, regarded as possible carcinogenic or low-risk HPV types, respectively, did not degrade p53. Interestingly, the E6 proteins of HPV 53, 70, and 82 inconsistently risk classified in the literature were also found to induce p53 degradation. The genomes of HPV53 and 82 immortalized primary human keratinocytes that revealed almost absent nuclear levels of p53. These data suggest a strict correlation between the biological properties of certain HPV types with conserved nucleotide sequence (phylogeny), which is largely coherent with epidemiologic risk classification. HPV types 16, 18, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, and 66, generally accepted as high-risk types, behaved in our assays biologically different from HPV types 6, 11, 44, 54, and 61. In contrast, HPV70, regarded as low-risk type, and HPV53 or HPV82, with inconsistent described risk status, were indistinguishable with respect to p53 degradation and immortalization from prototype high-risk HPV types. This could imply that other important functional differences exist between phylogenetically highly related viruses displaying similar biological properties in tissue culture that may affect their carcinogenicity in vivo.

Abstract
Previous studies among women worldwide have demonstrated that infection with specific types of human papillomaviruses (HPV) is central to the pathogenesis of cervical neoplasia. There is little data, however, concerning the prevalence of specific HPV types and the association of each type with cervical neoplasia among women in sub-Saharan Africa, who remain at very high risk of cervical cancer. We studied 2,065 consecutive patients aged 35 years or older, presenting to community health clinics in Dakar and Pikine, West Africa, who had not been screened previously for cytologic abnormalities or HPV. Cytologic diagnosis and HPV detection were accomplished using a ThinPrep Pap and a polymerase chain reaction-based reverse-line strip assay, respectively. Odds ratios (OR) and associated 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated using polynomial logistic regression. Cytologic abnormalities were found in 426 women (20%), including 254 (12%) with atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance, 86 (4%) with low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions, 66 (3%) with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) and 20 (1%) with invasive cancer. HPV infection was detected in 18%. Among women with negative cytologic findings, the prevalence of high risk but not low risk HPV types increased with age. HPV16 (2.4%) and HPV58 (1.6%) were the most frequently detected HPV types in this population, as well as being the most strongly associated with risk of HSIL/cancer (HPV16: OR = 88, 95% CI = 39-200; HPV58: OR = 51, 95% CI = 16-161). These data suggest that in addition to HPV16, HPV58 should be considered in the strategic planning of vaccination against cervical cancer in this geographic region.

Abstract
The variation of the E6 region of human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) is associated with a high risk for cervical carcinogenesis. To see whether the same is the case with HPV33, 52 and 58, known to have high homology with HPV16, we analyzed the E6 sequence variation of these HPVs in 107 Japanese women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) or invasive cervical cancer (ICC): 20 HPV33-positive, 46 HPV52-positive and 41 HPV58-positive cases. HPV33 variants were more frequently observed in CINs I/II than in CIN III/ICCs (71% (5/7) versus 15% (2/13), P=0.02). In HPV52-positive cases, a single E6 variant was detected in 98% of the cases, whereas the prototype accounted for 98% of HPV58-positive cases. In summary, the distribution of E6 variants is different among HPV types tested, suggesting a link between E6 variation and oncogenic potential being type-specific.

Abstract
The complete nucleotide sequence of human papillomavirus type 67 (HPV 67) cloned from a vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia, has been determined. It consists of 7801 nucleotides with a GC content of 38.4% and exhibits similar genome organizations of genital HPVs. By phylogenetic analysis based on the full nucleotide sequences of E6 open reading frame of 28 genital HPVs, HPV 67 was clustered with HPV 16, 31, 33, 34, 35, 52, and 58.

Abstract
Among genital human papillomaviruses (HPVs), the so-called high-risk (HPV 16, 18, etc.) and intermediate-risk (HPV 58, etc.) viruses are believed to be etiologically associated with cervical cancer. To estimate the extent of infection with common HPVs among Japanese females, we examined 328 sera from healthy donors (201) and patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) (22), cervical cancer (67), and condyloma acuminatum (CA) (38) for IgG antibodies against L1 capsid protein by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using virus-like particles of HPVs 16, 18, 58 and 6b (low-risk) as antigens. Antibodies recognizing conformational epitopes were found in the sera from both the patients and the healthy donors. The prevalences of anti-HPV 16, 18, and 58 antibodies in the sera from the patients with CIN (45%) and cervical cancer (49%), and that of anti-HPV 6b in the sera from the patients with CA (55%), were significantly higher than those in the sera from the age-matched healthy donors (12%, 14%, and 23%, respectively). Anti-HPV 16 was not found in some of the sera from patients with HPV 16-DNA positive CIN or cervical cancer, suggesting that HPV infection may not always induce production of anti-capsid antibodies or that the level of antibodies may not always be maintained until development of CIN or cancer. Some of the sera contained antibodies against more than one type of HPV, suggesting that the donors had been infected with different HPVs. The type-specific antibodies against capsid L1 protein of one type of HPV may not be able to prevent infections with other types of HPVs.

Abstract
A substantial body of evidence has confirmed human papillomavirus (HPV) infection as an etiologic agent in human cervical cancer. To evaluate the association between HPV and cervical cancer in Chinese women, we examined tumor specimens from women who lived in Shanghai, People's Republic of China. Biopsies from 40 women, diagnosed with either squamous-cell carcinoma (n = 35) or adenocarcinoma (n = 5) were tested for HPV DNA by PCR. The HPV types present in tumors were determined either by hybridization of PCR products with HPV type-specific probes or by PCR-based sequencing. A total of 35 of the 40 cervical cancer specimens (87.5%) contained HPV DNA. The following distribution and types were detected: 7.5% HPV 16, 10% HPV 18, 20% HPVs 16 and 18, 15% HPV 52, 15% HPV 58, 12.5% HPVs 52 and 58 and 7.5% unclassified HPVs. In this population of Chinese women with cervical cancer, HPV 52 and 58 were as prevalent as the "high-risk" (for cervical cancer) viruses HPVs 16 and 18.

Abstract
Papillomavirus late gene expression is tightly linked to the differentiation state of the host cell. Levels of late mRNAs are only in part controlled by regulation of the late promoter, other posttranscriptional mechanisms exist that reduce the amount of late mRNA in undifferentiated cells. Previously we described a negative regulatory element (NRE) located upstream of the human papillomavirus type 16 late poly(A) site. We have delineated the NRE to a 79-nt region in which a G+U-rich region was the major determinant of NRE activity. UV-crosslinking assays identified a prominent nuclear protein of 65 kDa as the only factor in close contact with the NRE, and a complex of at least five proteins, including the 65-kDa protein, was enriched on NRE-RNA. Binding of the 65-kDa protein was depleted by preincubation with poly(U) Sepharose in high salt, a property characteristic of the U2 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein auxiliary factor U2AF65 and bacterially expressed U2AF65 exhibited NRE binding. The 65-kDa protein bound to the G+U-rich NRE 3' half which shows homology to the B2P2 sequence a known U2AF65 binding site in the alpha-tropomyosin gene, and the G+U-rich element can be replaced by B2P2 in the binding assay. Treatment of cells with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate reduced binding of the 65-kDa protein, induced NRE binding of a cytoplasmic protein, and relieved the NRE block on reporter gene expression.

Abstract
We have established a critical identification method for the full spectrum of genital human papillomaviruses (HPVs) in clinical specimens. It was based on the recognition of PstI, BanI and MspI cleavage patterns of HPV DNA detected by blot hybridization with HPV 58 DNA probe at Tm -40 degrees C. By this method, we identified 24 different types of genital HPV including 5 novel types (HPV 59, 61, 62, 64 and 67) in the specimens collected at one hospital and found almost all the HPVs with the authentic cleavage patterns of their respective prototypes. In 235 cervical biopsy specimens, HPV 6 or 11 was found in exophytic condyloma acuminatum (15/15) but not in any cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) specimens. In contrast, HPV 18, 30, 43, 54, 56, 59, 62, 66 and 67 were identified in CIN I (28/71) or II (4/56) but not in CIN III, while HPV 16, 31, 33, 35, 39, 51, 52 and 58 were identified in CIN III (83/93) as well as in CIN I (34/71) and II (47/56). The result indicates that heterogeneous genital HPVs prevail all over the world. In addition, HPV 6 and 11 are etiologic agents only of exophytic condyloma, whereas the other HPVs are etiologic agents of CIN with the segregation of specific HPVs in CIN III. We propose a new clinicopathologic grouping of genital HPVs founded on nucleotide homology of the HPV genome.

Abstract
Occurrence of the antibodies against human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 proteins E4 and E7 is specifically but independently associated with cervical cancer. To correlate HPV DNA and antibody data, we examined the biopsy specimens and sera, by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and by ELISA, respectively, from 51 patients with cervical cancer (including 3 recurrent cases) and 22 with cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia. Consensus primers for the L1 region were used for PCR and bacterially expressed, purified fusion protein HPV-16 E4 and non-fusion protein HPV-16 E7 were used for ELISA. HPV-16 DNA and other HPV types were detected in 17 and 25, respectively, out of 51 cases of cervical cancer. Ten out of the 17 HPV-16-DNA-positives were positive either for anti-E4 or for anti-E7: positivities for anti-E4, for anti-E7, and for both were 6/17, 5/17 and 1/17 respectively. Three anti-E7-positives consisted of those for HPV-33, -52 and -58 DNA, suggesting that limited cross-reaction occurred between the HPV types. Among the HPV-16-DNA-positive cases of cancer, lymph-node or distant metastasis was recorded more frequently in the seropositives than in the seronegatives. Our results show that the HPV-16 anti-E4 or anti-E7 occurs in some, but not in all, of the HPV-16-DNA-positive cases, and support the hypothesis that the presence of the HPV-16 antibodies can be used as a marker for possible metastasis.

Abstract
Two sets of consensus PCR primers consisting of a common 3' primer CP-I and two 5'-primers, CP-IIG (primer set A) and CP-IIS (primer set B), in the E1 open reading frame of the human papillomavirus (HPV) genome are presented. These two primer sets enabled the detection of a 188 base pair (bp) fragment of HPV 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6b, 7, 8, 9, 10a, 11, 12, 14a, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 31, 33, 36, 37, 38, 39 and 46. HPV types 15, 23, 49 and 50 were poorly amplified and HPV type 41 was not amplified. The method is suitable for the detection of HPV DNA sequences in clinical samples of both cervical and cutaneous lesions.

Abstract
We recently described the detection of potentially novel human papillomaviruses (HPV) genotypes (HPV types X [HPV X]) in cervical smears (A. J. C. van den Brule, C. J. L. M. Meijer, V. Bakels, P. Kenemans, and J. M. M. Walboomers, J. Clin. Microbiol. 28:2739-2743, 1990) by using the general primer-mediated polymerase chain reaction method (GP-PCR). In this study, the HPV specificities of GP-PCR products were determined by sequence analyses. M13 bacteriophage clones of PCR products derived from cloned unsequenced HPV genotypes 13, 32, 35, 43, 44, 45, 51, and 56 were subjected to dideoxy sequencing. Analyses of the putative amino acid sequences of these HPV types in addition to published HPV sequence data revealed stretches of highly conserved amino acid residues present in all HPV types, resulting in an HPV amino acid consensus sequence. Subsequently, HPV X-specific PCR products found in premalignant cervical lesions (n = 3), carcinomas in situ (n = 6), and invasive cancer (n = 6) were analyzed for their nucleotide sequences. Comparison of these sequences with published HPV nucleotide sequences and data obtained in this study revealed three HPV type 35, two HPV type 45, one HPV type 51, two HPV type 56, and six unique HPV X sequences, of which three types were present in four cases of carcinomas (in situ). The nucleotide sequences determined appeared to be unique after a data bank search. Furthermore, the sequences of all HPV X isolates matched the HPV amino acid consensus sequence, thus confirming HPV specificity. This study illustrates the power of GP-PCR in combination with sequence analysis to determine HPV specificity and genotyping of PCR products derived from sequenced as well as unsequenced HPVs, including novel, not yet identified HPV types.

Abstract
A consensus primer-mediated polymerase chain reaction devised to amplify a short sequence in L1 region (L1-PCR) efficiently detected genital human papillomaviruses (HPVs) in clinical materials. Nucleotide sequencing of the amplified fragment showed that L1-PCR is also applicable to hitherto unsequenced HPVs. By comparing the amplified 210 nucleotides HPVs were classified into six groups, which are consistent with clinical pictures and a grouping based on cross-hybridization under the stringent condition.
