title: Cellular receptor binding and entry of human papillomavirus.
abstract: Human papillomaviruses (HPVs), recognized as the etiological agents for the skin, plantar, genital, and laryngopharyngeal wart, have been previously in numerous studies demonstrated to present a close link between HPV infection and certain human cancers, some putative candidates of HPV cell receptor and possible pathways of cell entry proposed. This review was to highlight the investigations and remaining questions regarding the binding and entry process.
