Title: A reproducible xenograft animal model for hosting and propagating human papillomavirus (HPV)
Inventor: DUAN JIANMIN
IPC: A61K49/00
Filed: 1999-12-16
Abstract: Described is a graft animal model for propagating papillomavirus and for evaluating and testing candidate therapeutic agents against papillomavirus. The animal model comprises a recipient animal engrafted with injured skin graft infected with a host-specific papillomavirus (PV). The grafted skin, having demonstrable papillomas supports the propagation of its host-specific PV. Also described is a xenograft animal model for hosting and propagating human papillomavirus (HPV), thereby providing a means for generating infectious and passaging HPV suspensions, and for screening candidate therapeutic agents against HPV. In addition, a method for generating the xenograft human animal model is described also. The graph depicts single type HPV-11 wart induction in the cutaneous model by viral stock originally generated from sub-cutaneous xenograft warts.
