title: Cellular transformation by human papillomavirus DNA in vitro.
abstract: Molecularly cloned DNA's of human papillomaviruses HPV-5 and HPV-l induced morphological transformation of mouse C127 cells in culture. Single-cell clones of cells transformed by papillomavirus contained multiple persistent episomal copies of the transfected DNA species and were analyzed for growth characteristics indicating malignant potential.
