<b>Aim:</b> To identify the role of mannose binding lectin (MBL) in susceptibility to HPV infection and to explore the relationship between MBL and response to intralesional Candida antigen immunotherapy of wart.
<b>CONCLUSIONS:</b> These results suggest that hr-HPV types are not associated with the development of ESCC and that p53 and p16 protein expression have no relationship with HPV infection in normal or cancerous esophagus.

<b>Results:</b> The association of HPV infection and EGFR expression was found to be statistically significant, and so was the difference in survival between patient groups with different HPV to EGFR expression ratio.
40 non-neoplastic cervical tissues, 30 precancer and 118 tumor specimens (total 188 tissue biopsies) were studied for the expression of the JAG1 protein through immunohistochemistry, immunoblotting and for HPV infection.
5'-Bromo-deoxyuridine incorporation assay demonstrated that expression of 16E5 induces a decrease in the growth response to the receptor ligands as a consequence of KGFR down-modulation, suggesting that 16E5 might have a role on HPV infection in perturbing the KGFR-mediated physiological behavior of confluent keratinocytes committed to differentiation.
94.7% of the cervical cancer and 84.4% of the high grade lesions with a strong and full thickness staining for p16(INK4a) were positive for HPV infection; p16(INK4a) immunoexpression increased with worsening grade of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia.
HPV infection does not correlate with RASSF1A methylation status in AC of the uterine cervix, but the absence of RASSF1A methylation in SCC of the uterine cervix coupled with the high incidence of HPV 16 infection in this subtype is in accord with previous reports.

HPV infection was detected in 11 of 24 cases (46%), and TSP-1, RASSF1-A and p16 genes were hypermethylated in 46%, 42% and 38% of the tumours, respectively.
