HPV16 Utilizes Phospholipase C(s) for its Genome Egress

Nuclear delivery of human papillomavirus (HPV) requires infected cells to undergo mitosis. Incoming HPV DNA is protected by a transport vesicle structure, which becomes unstable post-mitosis. We have previously shown that HPV genome egress takes on average 4 hours post-mitosis completion; thus, we propose that an enzym...
