The human (H) papillomaviruses (PV) cause a
variety of cutaneous (plantar, common, and fiat
or juvenile) warts'' and proliferative squamous
lesions of mucosal surfaces such as the oral
cavity; . larynx,'.: and anogenital areas'-' Al.
though most lesions associated with HPV infec-
tion appear to be benign and many spontaneously
disappear, some cutaneous and mucosal papillo-
mas undergo malignant transformation into in
situ and invasive squamous carcinoma.'t8- " The
inability to propagate HPV in tissue culture" or
transmit it to other animal species" has been the
major impediment in characterizing the virus and
studying its oncogenic potential. Recent advances
in molecular virology, however, have led to the
recognition that HPV displays a remarkable plur-
ality with at least 16 different types (HPV-1 to
HPV.16) distinguished serologically and/or by
molecular hybridization techniques (Table 34-1).
From these studies evidence is emerging that the
type of HPV determines, in part, the clinical and
pathological appearance, and natural fate of
HPV-associated lesions.
HPV are members of the A (PV) genus of the
family Papovaviridae; the polyomaviruses consti-
tute the B genus." The genera do not share any
antigenic detetTninants" or polynucleotide
sequence homology." The PVs have a larger ico-
sahedral capsid (55 nm vs 45 nm) and a larger
supercoiled, double-stranded DNA genome
(5.0 x 10 dahons vs 3.3 x 10' daltons)." The
genera also differ in biological properties.' PV
are species specific, producing hyperplasias/neo-
plasias in natural hosts. In vitro infection is
relatively quiescent without expression of late
viral genes.'-" In contrast, the polyomaviruses
give rise to both productive and nonproductive in-
fections in vitro but do not cause tumors in the
natural host."

empty particles have sedimentation coefficients of
168 to 172 S and a bouyant density of 1.29 g/mL
(tubular capsids are frequently observed at this
density).
Molecular analysis of PV DNA was first deter-
mined by Crawford and Crawford'0 and Craw-
ford." " Using stringent hybridization techniques
without the aid of various restriction endonucle-
ases, it was concluded that although PV from the
various species had similar structures and molecu-
lar weights, there were no polynucleotide se-
quences shared among the different genomes
analyzed. The PV genome exists in virions and in
infected cells in three forms (Fo); FoI is a cova-
lently closed, circular, supercoiled molecule with a
sedimentation coefficient of 23 S; FoII is an open,
circular molecule with a sedimentation coefficient
of 17 S and, Fo1II is a linear molecule with a sedi-
mentation coefficient of 16 S u," AU forms
appear to exist as nonintegrated, replicating plas-
mids in both benign and malignant lesions."~"
The molecular size of the genome based on agarose
gel electrophoresis and contour length measure-
ment of DNA molecules by electron microscopy
reveals a molecular weight of approximately 5 x
10 daltons, corresponding to 8000 base pairs of
genetic information, which is sufficient to code for
300,000 daltons of protein?'-" The guanine-plus-
cytosine content of HPV DNA is 41 moi°1o,' and
nearest-neighbor analysis indicates a similarity to
host species DNA" Two pairs of inverted repeti-
tive (palindromic) sequences have been detected in
the genome of HPV-I" the significance is
unknown.
Structural viral proteins constitute approxi-
mately 88% of the mass of the PV virion," and up
to 10 polypeptides have been resolved by sodium
dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel dectrophoresis.
Each PV has a major capsid protein with a molec-
ular weight of 54,000 to 63,000 daltons" "-" A
variety of other polypeptides in the molecular
weight range of 30,000 to 53,000 daltons are con-
sistently resolved in most virus preparations. Al-
though some may represent degradation products
of the major capsid protein, others are most likely
minor capsid proteins. Four low-molecular-
weight polypeptides closely associated with viral
DNA have been resolved and are similar to cellu-
lar histones." At present nonstructural viral pro-
teins and/or PV tumor antigens have not been
identified in HPV-associated lesions using a
variety of techniques.
CLASSMCATION OF HPV
TYPES
The papillomaviruses are classified into types or
subtypes on the basis of polynucleotide sequence
homology." To be classified as a new PV type, a
maximum of 5007o polynucleotide sequence ho-
mology with other classified viruses should exist in
conjunction with significant serological deviations
in reciprocal assays. Those viruses with greater
than 50°to but less than 100eto deoxyribonucleic
acid (DNA) homology are subtypes. The closely
related subtypes usually differ by having one or
more distinct restriction endonuclease cleavage
patteras. For example, HPV-6 and HPV-11 share
about 2507o DNA sequence homology"" and are
thus considered different types; however, HPV
types la and lb are subtypes since they are indis-
tinguishable by hybridization and differ only with
respect to a limited number of restriction sites."
HPV DNA studies are dependent on extraction
of nonintegrated supercoiled viral DNA from
either purified virions or directly from HPV-asso-
ciated lesions'-" The recoverability of virions
appears to be dependent on both the type of HPV
and the extent of differentiation of squamous epi-
thelium as characterized by the degree of keratini-
zation.30 PV structural antigens (and therefore
virions) have not been found in lesions composed
primarily of proliferating squamous epithelial cells
with little or no differentiation or in squamous
carcinomas regardless of the degree of differentia-
tion (Jenson, unpublished data). Cutaneous warts,
particularly plantar and common warts caused by
HPV-1, contain the largest quantity of virions"
whereas mucosal papillomas appear to contain the
fewest viral particles. Recovery of viral DNA for
purposes of classification can be accomplished by
a variety of different approaches. One approach
requires an abundance of HPV virions that are ex-
tracted from the wart/papilloma and purified in
CsCI equilibrium density gradients. The virions
are ruptured by treatment with sodium dodecyl
sulfate, deproteinized by phenol extraction, and
supercoiled DNA subsequently isolated in
CsCI-ethidium bromide equilibrium density gra-
dients"" Another method, particularly suitable
if there are only small amounts of HPV particles,
is extraction of supercoiled HPV DNA as a plas-
mid from infected celLs"""''° usually using
modifications of the Hirt" differential salt extrac-
tion technique.
Early studies of endonuclease restriction pu-
terns and physical maps of HPV DNA were
limited to those viruses that produced large
amounts of virions in cutaneous warts"" How-

and mucosal papillomas/condylomata, particu-
larly those occurring at pressure points such as the
sole of the foot or in loose traumatized tissue like
the laryrtx, are likely to be multiple and recur after
therapy. This is probably due either to auto-
inoculation or seeding of HPV at the site of iatro-
genic trauma. There is good evidence that infants
may contract the HPV that causes juvenile laryn-
geal papilloma as they pass through the birth
canal of mothers who have genital condylomata,
and, perhaps, cervical dysplasia.'' Some cases of
_#rai condylomata occur concurrently in individ-
uals with genital condylomata." All of these ob-
servations suggest that HPVs are the tra8stz>Wle
agents that cause cutaneous and mucosal paj5il-
lomZs in man.
Two populations appear to be partictelarftore-
disposed to HPV infections: 1) institunonalized
individuals, and 2) immunosuppressed individ-
uals. In one study over one quarter of patients in a
mental institution had warts." This probably only
reflects increased contact among individuals in
close quarters, since the spontaneous regression
rate was as high as other populations. The increased
incidence and severity of warts in patients with
naturally acquired and iatrogenic immunosup-
pression undoubtedly reflects the role of the im-
mune system in HPV infections.= '13-76 Although
generalized warts have been seen in patients with
agarnmaglobinemia, it appears to be more fre-
quent in patients with decreased cell-mediated
responses.
Incubation Period
The incubation period of warts is best assessed
by reviewing data from experiments on the trans-
mission of human warts.' The incubation period
for most of the experiments was one to three
months, but some incubation periods were as long
as six to 20 months. The incubation period for
genital warts has been estimated at two to three
months with an infectivity rate of approximately
bS47o."
Host Response
All three types of squamous epithelium, 1) cu-
tane.ous (keratinized), 2) mucosa! (nonkeratinized),
and 3) metaplastic, are susceptible to infection by
HPV.' Generally, the various types of human
warts and mucosal-.,papillomas are well-circum-
scribed papillomatous growths that vary in size
and color and tend to have a roughened horny
surface but some HPV-associated lesions such as
juvenile warts, cervical dysplasia, and pityriasis
rosea-like lesions are flat and difficult to delineate
precisely on visual examination.='
It is thought that the HPV genome is present in
a stable form in the basal layer of the wart," and
that early gene expression is associated with acan-
thosis (increase in stratum spinosum or prickle cell
layer). Vegetative viral DNA synthesis begins in
the suprabasal cells of the prickle layer" and is
followed by late gene expreuion (structural poly-
peptides) and virion assembly occurring almost ex-
clusively within nuclei of the granular layer of
cells." The phenotypic expression (histopathologic

HPV infection is manifested by proliferation of

tions (wrinkling and pyknosis) of granular cells.
and the production of excess keratin. The acan-
thosis and hyperkeratosis are associated with the
formation of epithAal spikes referred to as
papillomatosis. The epithelial proliferation may
also extend downward, resulting in accentuated
rete pegs referred to as inverted papillomatosis.
Inverted papillomatosis is a feature of all but the
flat lesions such as juvenile warts, pityriasis-like
lesions, and cervical dysplasia. Inverted papillo-
matosis is frequently encountered in vulvar lesions
such as bowenoid papulosis (dysplasia), where it
may be°mistaken for stromal invasion. Another
characteristic feature of PV-induced lesions is
their vascularity. As the epithelial proliferation
becomes more exuberant, capillaries from the
underlying -1dermis or stroma are drawn into
the lesion. This accounts for the vascularity of
warts and the abnormal vascular patterns seen in
cervical dysplasia when viewed through the
colposcope.
CLINICAL SYNDROMES
(COMMON)
Cutaneous' " (Table 34I )
Verruca vulgaris (HPV-2; occasionally HPV-1)
is the most common (vulgar) of all the warts. It is
sessile and exophytic with a crusty appearing pa-
pillomatous surface. Common warts can occur
singly but are frequently multiple. They are usu-
ally located on the hand. Verruca also occur in the
oral cavity but much less frequently than on the
skin. They are most frequently seen in young chil-
dren. Some verruca disappear, but many are
treated. Nonetheless a small but significant per-
centage will recur regardless of the form of thera-
peutic intervention.
Verrua platttarfs or plantar warts (HPV-1:
HPV-4) art seen mainly in adolescents and young
adults. They usually occur as a single lesion on the
sole of the foot. Although clinically aggressive,
these warts usually respond well to treatment.
They ars not elevated above the surface of the
skin but extend deep into the sole where they are
frequently painful. Although many forms of ther-
apy, including irradiation. have been used on
these lesions, there are no reports of malignant
transformation.
Verrnca plana (HPV-3) are flat warts which
usually appear over the face and those parts of the
extremities other than the hands and feet. Thev
are multiple. Since these warts usually appear in
children, they are frequently called juvenile wans.
Juvenile warts are usually asymptomatic. cause
few cosmetic problems, and may persist for a
number of years, only to spontaneously disappear
within a few weeks of each other.'°-'1
Mucosal
Oral cavity and larynx Focal epithelial hyper-
plasia (HPV type unknown) occurs only in the
oral cavity, appearing clinically to be flat or
slightly elevated and either white or the color of
the surrounding mucosa.' These lesions have been
reported to occur primarily in natives of Green-
land and North and South America. suggesting
the influence of environmental andtor genetic fac-
tors. In Greenland Eskimos, it has been observed
primarily in adults, whereas in the southwest In-
dians, it has been reported to occur primarily in
children." These lesions are usually multiple and
spontaneously disappear.
Single oral papiIlomas (HPV type unknown)
are the most common benign epithelial tumors of
the oral cav%ty!' They are pedunculated with a
fibrovascular stalk and usually have a rough papil-
lary appearance to their surface. They can occur
in any age group, are usually solitary, and rarely
recur after surgical excision.
Multiple papillomas (HPV type unknown) are
clinically and pathologically similar to condylo-
mata, which occur infrequently in the oral cavity.4
Laryngeal papillomas are associated with
HPV-11 "" and are the most common benign
epithelial tumors of the larynx." The clinical pic-
ture is that of small exophytic papillomas which
can coalesce and appear very exuberant.' They
occur more frequently in children than adults, are
typically multiple, and frequently recur after
surgical removal. Laryngeal papillomatosis is usu-
ally considered a life-threatening condition in
children because of the danger of airway obstruc-
tion and suffocation; they frequently disappear
after puberty. Occasionally papillomas may ez-
tend down the trachea and into the bronchi. Ma-
lignant transformation may occur after radiation
therapy.,."-"

anogenital or venereal warts, are caused primarily

of external genitalia and perianal areas.".« They
are occasionally found in the oral cavity where

they are indistinguishable from multiple papil-
lomas. " In females, condylomata may regress
spontaneously, persist for years, or undergo a ra-
pid increase in size during pregnancy. Genital
warts of long duration appear to have a low risk
for undergoing malignant transformation.' Most
show evidence of mild dysplasia but greater de-
grees of dysplasia are extremely rare. Approxi-
mately 5074 of squamous carcinomas of the vulva
have been reported to develop in association with
condylomata.' ' Perhaps the best clinical evi-
dence of maGgnant potential of genital warts
occurred in two rare cases in which carcinoma of
the vulva in young teenage girls was preceded by
condylomata (reviewed by zur Hausen'). In
males, 15074 of squamous carcinomas of the penis
have been reported to develop in association with
preexisting condylomata.' " Many penile carci-
nomas are of the verrucous type with features of
giant condylomata acuminatum of Buschke and
Lowenstein" Of interest is the observation that
circumcision reduces the incidence of penile carci-
nomas but not the appearance of penile condylo-
mata.' Perineal and perianal condylomata may
also undergo malignant transition to squamous
cell carcinomas, particularly in homosexual
maies."O Of particular importance is the recent
observation that papillomas/condylomas of the
distal male urethra may be flat or exophytic with
some showing atypia.^ ' these lesions are most
likely transmitted by sexual contact to the cervix
where a productive infection gives rise to cervical
dysplasia.
Cervical dysplasia (cervical intraepithelial neo-
plasia, CIN) has been associated with HPV-6,1
-11!' and -16 (personal communication, zur Hau-
sen), and other unknown types, and is the precur-
sor of squamous carcinoma." The development
of cervical cancer is thought to proceed through a
continuum of progressive cellular changes from
mild (CIN 1) to moderate (CIN 11) (Figure 34-2) to
severe dysplasia and/or carcinoma in situ (CIN
III)"" This sequence of events has been docu-
mented by a number of studies with transit times
from mild dysplasia to carcinoma in situ ranging
from 84 to 96 months." Approximately 40074 to
70074 of the dysplasias undergo spontaneous re-
gression. Although the etiology of cervical cancer
is still unknown, epidemiolojW-studies suggest
that both precursor lesions and carcinoma are
linked to venereally transmitted agents." For
many years, herpesvirus type II was thought to be
the most likely etiologic agent based on seroepi-
demiologic evidence.1O01Ot However, since 1980,
morphologic, immunologic, and molecular viro-
logic studies support the view that HPV plays an
important role in the development of cervical neo-
piasia."" i42"O' HPV is one of the most com-
monly sexually transmitted agents, having been

CLINICAL SYNDROMES
(UNCOMMON)
Epidermodysplasia verruciformis (HPV-3, -S,
-8, -9, -10, -12, -13, and -I4) or verrucosis gener-
alisata"3 is a rare, autosomal recessive, disease
characterized by varying degrees of decreased cell-
mediated immunity and increased susceptibility
to HPV infection manifested clinically by poly-
morphogic skin lesions resembling either flat
warts or macules indistinguishable from pityriasis
rosea." f2 114-11' In approximately 25070 of Cauca-
sian patients malignant transformation occurs
within the pityriasis rosea-like lesions in sun-
exposed areas such as the face and hands. Only
lesions containing HPV-S appear to progress to
premalignant lesions, histopathologically similar
to cervical dysplasia before developing into carci-
noma in situ (Bowen's disease) and, eventually
invasive squamous carcinoma. HPV-5 can be
identified in primary or metastatic malignant le-
sions as a replicating, nonintegrated plasmid!'
Immunosuppressed patients, particularly those
undergoing renal transplantation, also develop
pityriasis rosea-like lesions associated with
HPV-S, which may undergo malignant transfor-
mation." Although warts that are present at the
beginning of therapy become aggressive,3 newly
acquired warts are usually seen only after the first
year of immunosuppression." Squamous cell
carcinomas usually do not develop in patients
with immunosuppression of short duration, sug-
gesting that HP V-S is acquired from some reser-
voir which is as yet unknown. Flat warts asso-
ciated with HPV-3 have also been reported in
renal transplant patients."'
IMMUyOLOGIC RESPONSES
Available evidence suggests that spontaneous
regression or persistence of warts is related to the
immunologic responsiveness of the individual (re-
viewed by von Krogh"). Studies of HPV infec-
tion suggest that stimulation of cellular immunity
is associated with regression of lesions and such
immunity is HPV type specific. Humoral antibody
responses to HPV are almost always type specific
and can apparently be used to determine evidence
of previous infection." The antibody response
can also be used as a prognostic indicator of spon-
taneous regression and/or successful therapy.
Many of the previous studies of immune re-
sponses to HPV infection are, however, difficult
to assess in view of our current recognition of the
plurality of immunologically distinct HPV.
Cell-Mediated Immunity
Patients with clinical evidence of altered cell-
mediated immunity have an increased incidence of
warts that are usually flat." This has been seen in
immunosuppressed patients,"3-7" patients with
cellular immunodeficiency,' and patients with
weak cutaneous hypersensitivity responses.i° aIl
Specific immunologic defects may be involved,
however, since not all patients with persistent
warts have evidence of nonspecific abnormalities
in cell-mediated immunity. There is pathologic
evidence of cell-mediated regression of warts,
particularly flat warts." A perivascular infiltration
of mononuclear leukocytes is usually seen in the
upper dermis with epidermal invasion localized to
the flat wart. Patients with regressing flat warts
will maintain plantar or common warts, suggest-
ing that HPV type-specific structural or non-
structural proteins are recognized at the level of
the cellular immune response.'0 Noteworthy is the
observation that spontaneous regression or cure
following treatment is frequently associated with
enhanced specific cellular immunity as tested by
cutaneous hypersensitivity to wart virus-asso-
ciated antigens 1::.1u The role of substances
associated with cell-mediated responses such as
lymphokines is unknown.
Humoral Immunity
Serologic evidence of wart virus antibodies ha~e
been detected by a variety of techniques in various
population studies (reviewed by von #Crogh").
The significance of these sudies is unknown
because the tests have been performed on dif-
ferent preparations of wan virus material. Pa-
tients without wart virus antibodies or with 1gM
alone are less likely to undergo spontaneous
regression or be cured than those with IgM and
(gG virus-specific antibodies''i" Furthermore,
after spontaneous or therapeutic cure, IgG anti-
bodies will remain elevated for up to six months
and as long as nine years." IgG antibodies are
known to be circulating in half of patients who
give no history of having warts."'-"' Patients
with chronic andlor multiple warts are much less
likely to have IgG against HPV." Of particular
interest is that patients with warts that do not con-
tain viriotts are less likely to have antibodies."'
Regardless, the role of serologic tests in evaluating
HPV infections must be performed using HPV
type-specific polypeptides as antigens. In such a
study PSster and zur Hausen,:' using purified
HPV-I polypeptides, demonstrated by radioim-
munoassay that 40% of an unselected group of
individuals had circulating antibody to HPV-I.

LABORATORY DIAGtiOSIS OF
iNFECTION
The multiplicity of HPV types and the relative
lack of cross-reactivity of type-specific reagents
has impeded an assessment of the role of HPV
types in lesions suspected of a HPV etiology. In
the past, evidence for the presence of HPV in a
particular lesion was mainty inferential, based
on the morphologic similarity of the putative
HPV-induced lesion to warts or condylorna acu-
minata, lesions known to be caused by HPV.
'. Identification of PV particles by electron mi-
croscopy" " 103 ` I=s us offered a direct method
(Figure 34-3). However, because of the possibility
of sampling error, particularly with the mucosal
lesions, and the fact that it is a time-consuming, ex-
pensive technique, its value is diminished as a prac-
tical screening technique.' u Recently, application
of immunological and molecular hybridization
methods to assay tissues for the presence of PV
genus- and HPV type-specific structural antigens
and DNA sequences have become possible and are
routinely used for diagnostic purposes.'. 54 #9
Genus-Specific Tests
Human and animal papillomaviruses contain
regions of conserved polynucleotide sequence
homology that can be detected only under non-
stringent hybridization conditions such that
heteroduplexes with 25076 to 350/o base mismatches
remain thermally stable." In addition, papil-
lomaviruses from diverse species have cross-reac-
tive internal capsid antigens that can be detected
using antisera prepared from disrupted papillo-
mavirus."" Using these genus-specific reagents,
it is now possible to test for the presence of HPV
structural antigens and DNA sequences regardless
of the HPV type associated with a particular
lesion.
Productive HPV infections, identified by the
presence of genus-specific structural proteins using
hyperimmune sera prepared against common anti-
gens derived from either HPV or bovine papilloma-
virus, can be demonstrated in acetone-fixed frozen
sections by immunofluorescence (Figure 34-4) or
fotinalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections rou-
tinely processed for pathology using imrnunocyto-
chemical techniques (Figure Since
1980, a variety of cutaneous and mucosal lesions

mon antigen. The frequency of HPV antigenic ex-

currently unknown why viral antigens are detected
in only 40014 to 70479 of these lesions. Although lack
of antigen detection may be due to sampling error,
limited sensitivity of the test, or denaturing of viral
antigens during tissue processing, it probably is
related to a cyclic or periodic expression of struc-
tural viral antigens by the viral genome, perhaps
modulated by the immune response. In a study of
102 laryngeal papillomas, 48% were positivt for
viral antigens.' However, when four or more con-
secutive recurrences of the same lesion were ex-
amined, at least one was always stained positively.
Thus, although a positive immunologic reaction for
HPV means that the lesion is associated with the
virus, a negative reaction does not necessarily ex-
dude an HPV etiology.

HPV-1 antigens were found in S407o of plantar
warts and 11 07e of common warts. Moreover, the
presence of HPV-1 viral antigens corresponded to
the presence of HPV-I specific nucleotide se-
quences determined by molecular hybridization
studies.
Preliminary classifications of HPV DNA in
biopsy specimens are made on the basis of the
hybridization spectrum of viral DNA fragments
generated by appropriate restriction endonu-
cleases and by assessing the relatedness of viral se-
quences as judged by hybridization efficiency
under relaxed and stringent conditions.'" When
warts and/or mucosal papillomas undergo malig-
nant transformation, late gene expression (struc-
tural viral proteins) is no longer detected, but the
PV genome continues to replicate as a plasmid, al-
though at a lower copy number. Detection of
HPV DNA associated with the transformed state
is best accomplished under stringent conditions
that are at least ten times more sensitive then non-
stringent conditions, a difference which appears to
be particularly critical in PV systems.
At least 16 different HPV types have been char-
acterized by molecular hybridization studies
(Table 34-1). Besides being preferentially asso-
ciated with specific clinical lesions, subsets of
HPV appear to be primarily cutaneotropic or mu-
cosotropic (HPV-6, -1 l, and -16) and noncarcino-
genic or potentially carcinogenic (HPV-S, -6, -11.
-16). Therefore, most studies on squamous cell
carcinoma of ttie skin have been probed with
HPV-S DNAs, whereas most studies of squatnous
cell carcinoma of the laryngeal and anogenical
areas have been probed with HPV-6,"'6 -11,'
and, more recently, HPV-16 (zur Hausen, per-
sonal communication).
HPV-S has been detected in both primary and
metastatic squamous carcinomas of patients with
EV= and in the primary carcinomas of patients
undergoing immunosuppressive therapy." Dem-
onstration of HPV in metastatic lesions is of par-
ticular importance since HPV DNA sequences
found in the primary lesions could possibly be a
contaminant from an adjacent benign skin lesion.
HPV-Il has been found in half of laryngeal
papillomas, approximately one fourth of genital
warts, cervical dysplasias, and four of 24 cervical
cancers (two in situ; two invasive)!' HPV-6 se-
quences have been found in the majority of
typical condylomata acuminata (venereal warts)
and condylomata acamittata of Lowenstein and
Bushke," an ag=ressive infiltrating squsmous
lesion that usually does not metastasize." Other
evidence that HPVs are associated with malignant
tumors has been the finding of an untyped DNA
isolated from a puient with EV in four squamous
cell carcinomas of the vulva and cervix." Re-
cently, HPV-16 has been found in 609e of squa-
mous cell carcinomas of the cervix from German

TREATMENT
Bunney,' in her assessment of a 10-year pro-
gram evaluating wart cures in approximately
14,000 patients, concluded that 709s to 8044 of
paiients could have been cured of warts by simple
methods applied either at home or in the clinic.
Whether warts are treated or left alone is usually a
prerogative of the individual patient. Although
most warts are usually treated for cosrttetic tYSsons,
others are treated because they cause discomfort or
are truly disabling. Since warts frequently undergo
spontaneous regtession, veatmett should not result
in permanent damage such as excessive scarring or
disfigurement.

In general, warts that respond most favorably
to treatment are usually single, of short duration,
and found in children.' Home treatment of warts
includes topical application of salicylic acid and
formalin or glutaraldehyde; podophyllin or strong
acids or bases should be used under supervision.
Cryotherapy is the most universally popular treat-
ment for warts, although surgical intervention
may be indicated in some cases. Perhaps the best
biological reason for not routinely recommending
surgical intervention is that surgical extirpation of
the wart is not associated with enhancement of the
immunologic response such as is seen following
multiple topical or freeze-thawing treatments that
appear to facilitate recognition of HPV-asso-
ciated antigens by the immunologic system.'='-"_
Quick removal of the bulk of wart virus antigens
without concomitant exposure to the immune sys-
tem is probably the main reason for the high re-
currence rates of warts following surgery. Other
treatments, such as interferon and retinoic acid,
appear promising but are experimental at this
time.
The duration of treatment and criteria for cure
of warts are important factors for clinical man-
agement of these lesions. Bunney' suggests that 12
weeks after beginning treatment is an adequate
length of time to expect warts to disappear. Since
failure to completely eradicate the initial lesion is
the main reason for recurrence, a valid criterion
for cure is the appearance of a normal skin after
disappearance of the wart(s). Similar criteria have
not been developed for treatment and cure of HPV-
associated iesions arising in mucosal epithelium.

VACCINATION
Vaccination offers potential prevention and/or
cure for cutaneous warts and HPV-associated pa-
pillomas of the tnucosal surfaces. It is apparent
that effective vaccination will utilize either type-
specific structural or nonstructural antigens and
that the lesions to be targeted will be those of the
anogenital area that are sexually transmitted and
are at risk of malignant transformation.' Future
vaccines will depend on the progress made in the
molecular virology of HPV and the development
of bacterial expression vectors capable of synthe-
sizing highly purified, immunogenic structural
and nonstructural HPV proteins. Otherwise, the
use of an autogenous vaccine derived from tlte pa-
tient's own lesion is the only other alternative for
vaccination because of the possibility of poten-
tially harmful biological contaminants associated
with heterologous vaccines.
Most cutaneous warts either spontaneously
regress or can be cured by simple treatment.' Ap-
proximately 20074 to 3Q07o of these lesions will be
recalcitrant to therapy. Aithough presumably
associated with general or specific immunologic
defects, half of these recalcitrant warts may dis-
appear after vaccination of patients with formalitt-
inactivated HPV' all patients cured developed a
positive IgG response and delayed hypersensitivity
reaction to the HPV preparation.
Vaccination of persons at high risk for develop-
ing or transmitting anogenital HPV-associated
lesions appears to be indicated for several reasons.
First, many of these are sexually transmitted and
reinfection by consorts must occur frequently.
Second. S°1o to 154% of squamous carcinomas of
the vulva and penis appear to arise in preexisting
condylomata, usually of long duration. Third,
successful autogenous vaccination appears to be
higher for venereal warts (up to 80410) than cutan-
eous wans.+" Fourth, recombinant DNA tech-
nology should be able to provide the necessary
biological materials in the near future for vaccina-
tion. Evaluation of the efficacy of vaccination for
lesions of the aaogenital area, however, will de-
pend on well-controlled epidemioiogic studies and
clinical ttiaLt.rith evaluation of humoral (possibly
secretory ISA) and cell-mediated responses to
type-specific antigens. Regardless, preventive
measures to avoid transmission of these viruses is
much preferable to the best cure.
SiJMIri.+1RY
HPVs are a beterotenous group of oncogenic
viruses that replicate as true plasmids in selected
benign (wares/papillomas). dysplastic (cervical
dysplasias/?bowenoid papulosis), and malignant
(anogenital carcinomas) lesions of squamous epi-
thelium. Spontaneous regression or successful
topicallcryosurgical treatment of the benign
lesions are largely dependent on either naturally
acquired or iatrogenically-related stimulation of
HPV type-specific cellular immunity. Malignant
transformation of warts and papillomas appears
to relate to a variety of factors: 1) infection by
certain HPV types (HPV-S, -6, -11, and -16),
2) decreased cellular immunity to HPV-associated
antigens, and 3) interaction with physical carcin-
ogens such as sunlight or x-rays.
Research on HPV has benefited more from re-
combinant DNA technology than any other area
in virology, mainly because HPV cannot be grown
in culture or transmitted to other animal species.
Future use of recombinant DNA technology in
HPV research should: 1) allow many more HPVs
to be identified and characterized; 2) permit the
products of early and late gene regions to be syn-
thesized in bacterial expression vectors and used
as immunogens for diagnostic and vaccination
purposes, and 3) provide a substantial amount of
information about mechanisms involved in
carcinogenesis.
