Detection of human papovavirus antigen in oral papillary lesions.
The papillary lesions of oral verruca vulgaris, condyloma acuminatum, and verrucous carcinoma were examined for the presence of papovavirus antigens by the peroxidase-antiperoxidase immunohistochemical methods. The antigens could be detected in the nuclei of cells only in the stratum granulosum and stratum corneum in some cases of verruca vulgaris and condyloma acuminatum but in no case of verrucous carcinoma.
