New form of HPV18 L1 found in native virions contributes to virion stability and infectivity
ABSTRACT Current dogma states that papillomavirus virions consist of only one form of the L1 major capsid protein. Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) have been studied using recombinant particles, thereby bypassing the need to grow the virus in a model of differentiating epithelium. Expression vectors engineered to produce...
