RESUMO
A mouse model of high-risk human papillomavirus infection was developed in which human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 DNA was inoculated into human foreskin grafted to the skin of severe combined immunodeficient (scid) mice. Grafted skin contained human epidermis and dermis and, like normal human skin, expressed involucrin in differentiating keratinocytes. HPV type 16 DNA, attached to gold particles, was delivered directly into human epidermal cells and induced exophytic papilloma with histologic features of papillomavirus infection, including koilocytosis and expression of papillomavirus capsid antigen. This model should be useful for determining in vivo the functions of viral genes and for developing strategies to prevent and treat HPV-associated disease. It may also be of value in developing animal models of other human skin diseases.
