Immunology of Human Papovaviruses

  • Chapter
Immunology of Human Infection

Part of the book series: Comprehensive Immunology ((COMIMUN,volume 9))

Abstract

Papovaviruses are small, nonenveloped DNA viruses that share certain morphological features and replicative processes. The term “papova” is an acronym composed by grouping the first two letters of “human papilloma. virus,” “mouse polyoma virus,” and “simian vacuolating virus” (simian virus 40, SV40) (Melnick, 1962). The papovaviruses fall naturally into two subgroups: the larger papilloma (wart) viruses, which produce benign tumors of the skin or mucous membrane, and the smaller viruses of the SV40-polyoma subgroup, most of which cause infections of the urinary tract and are oncogenic for laboratory animals. It has been proposed that the papovaviruses be established taxonomically as a family, Papovaviridae, containing two genera, Papovavirus A (the papillomaviruses) and Papovavirus B (viruses of the SV40-polyoma subgroup), and that virus species be designated by numbers (Melnick et al., 1974). Papovavirus infections of man and their chief characteristics are listed in Table 1.
