High-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) are responsible for genital and oral cancers associated with the expression of the E6/E7 HPV oncogenes. Therapeutic vaccines targeting those oncogenes can only partially control tumor progression, highlighting the neces ...
Human papillomavirus (HPV) begins its life cycle by infecting the basal cells of the epithelium. Within these proliferating cells, the viral genomes are replicated, maintained, and passed on to the daughter cells. Using HPV episome-containing cell lines th ...

Virus inactivation mechanisms can be elucidated by methods which measure the loss of specific virus functionality (e.g., host attachment, genome internalization, genome replication). Genome functionality is frequently assessed by PCR-based methods, which a ...
In order to analyze bonding contacts that stabilize the virion or promote capsid assembly, bovine papillomavirus (BPV) virions were subjected to buffer conditions known to disrupt polyomavirus virions. At physiologic ionic strength, incubation with dithiot ...
In this thesis, four topics related to image analysis are investigated: filtering, color segmentation, contour detection, and symmetry quantification for shape, color, and texture information. The three first topics are essential to detect efficiently the ...
Chronic infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) affects 170 million people worldwide and is the leading cause of cirrhosis in North America. Although the recommended treatment for chronic infection involves a 48-week course of peginterferon-alpha-2b (PegIFN ...
The human papillomavirus (HPV) E1 empty set E4 protein is the most abundantly expressed viral protein in HPV-infected epithelia. It possesses diverse activities, including the ability to bind to the cytokeratin network and to DEAD-box proteins, and in some ...
The complete nucleotide sequence and genomic organization of human papillomavirus type 18, associated with cervical cancer, has been established. A detailed comparative analysis was undertaken leading to the identification of a number of features specific ...
The emergence of waterborne viruses with resistance to disinfection has been demonstrated in the laboratory and in the environment. Yet, the implications of such resistance for virus control remain obscure. In this study we investigate if viruses with resi ...
We report the nucleotide sequence and genome organization of the human papillomavirus type 42. HPV42 DNA was isolated from vulvar papillomas. It has been detected in benign forms of proliferative lesions only. The genome of HPV42 is 7917 bp long and shows ...
