Papillomaviruses induce tumors of keratinocytes. Vegetative viral DNA replication and virion assembly are seen in those cells which are in the process of keratinizing or are keratinized. To date, no cell culture system has been developed that permits expression of the complete viral life cycle. Keratinocytes infected in culture may harbor the virus as a stable, replicating episome, but they do not support vegetative viral growth, nor do they become immortalized or transformed. The major obstacle in using keratinocyte cultures may be related to a dual need for transformation and full differentiation. Some animal papillomaviruses have been shown to be capable of transforming cultured murine fibroblasts. The fibroblast model is useful for identifying the viral-transforming gene(s) and their products.
