Development of an in vivo infection model to study Mouse papillomavirus-1 (MmuPV1).

Preclinical model systems to study multiple features of the papillomavirus life cycle are extremely valuable tools to aid our understanding of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) biology, disease progression and treatments. Mouse papillomavirus (MmuPV1) is the first ever rodent papillomavirus that can infect the laboratory strain of mice and was discovered recently in 2011. This model is an attractive model to study papillomavirus pathogenesis due to the ubiquitous availability of lab mice and the fact that this mouse species is easily genetically modifiable. Several other groups, including ours, have reported that MmuPV1-induced papillomas are restricted to T-cell deficient immunosuppressed mice. In our lab we showed for the first time that MmuPV1 causes skin cancers in UVB-irradiated immunocompetent animals. In this report we describe in detail the MmuPV1-UV infection model that can be adapted to study MmuPV1 biology in immunocompetent animals.
