Abstract: In addition, E6 variant NIKS expressing R10G/L83V and Q14H/H78Y/L83V were more prone to undergo cell-detachment-induced apoptosis (anoikis) than NIKS expressing E6 prototype.
Discussion: Nevertheless both Q14H/H78Y/L83V and Discussion: Our data may explain the high prevalence of certain HPV16 E6 variants in populations and in high-grade cervical disease worldwide, especially with respect to the Asian-American variant Q14H/H78Y/L83V.
