title: [The carcinogenesis of human cytomegalovirus to mouse cervix].
abstract: We plugged the gelfoam impregnated with virus stock solution into mouse cervix with ophthalmic forceps. Mice of Kun-Ming strain were infected with UV-inactivated HCMV (human cytomegalovirus). After 31 weeks, cervical carcinomas were induced in 15% of the infected mice. In another group, infected with UV-inactivated HCMV adding croton oil, the carcinogenesis was 18.8%, but incontrol group, it was 0%. HCMV IE (immediate early) antigen in 12 cancer tissues of UV-inactivated HCMV treated group were all positive, and HCMV IE antibody geometrical average titre in mouse serum of the same group was 1:167.2, but the same two parameters in control group were both negative. The ANAE positive rate of lymphocytes in mouse peripheral blood of UV-inactivated HCMV treated group was 38.9 +/- 6.8%, and of control group was 67.8 +/- 8.0%.
