The conduct of phase I and II trials in developing countries will be a critical step for appropriate vaccine selection and in helping to identify the country- and community-specific issues and the needs for further implementation.

However, whereas HPVs are positively associated with cervical cancer, AAV appears to be negatively associated. In tissue culture, AAV-encoded Rep78--which is essential for AAV--inhibits gene expression and oncogenic transformation by HPV-16/18 and bovine papillomavirus type 1. Here we observed whether the HPV-16 E7 oncoprotein might recognize and bind Rep78. Further, upon finding Rep78-E7 binding, we investigated some of the potential downstream effects such an interaction might have. E7 is capable of recognizing a variety of proteins, including RB105, TATA box-binding protein (TBP), TBP-associated factor (TAF)(II)110, E2F, cyclins A and D, and c-jun. Some of these interactions are likely responsible for E7's cancer-promoting activity.</p><p><strong>Study design/methods: </strong>Rep78-E7 interaction was investigated in vitro by West(far)-Western and affinity chromatography analysis and in vivo in living yeast by the GAL4 two-hybrid cDNA assay. Mapping of the E7 binding domain within Rep78 was carried out using a series of amino- and carboxy-truncated Rep78 proteins in a West(far)-Western assay. Downstream effects of the interaction were analyzed by competitive affinity chromatography (protein-protein) and competitive electrophoretic mobility shift assay (protein-DNA).</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>E7 and Rep78 were found to interact both in vitro and in vivo (yeast) in all assays attempted. The E7 binding domain within Rep78 was found to reside within amino acids 121-370. Regarding downstream effects of this interaction, Rep78 was found to mildly inhibit E7-TAF(II)110 and E7-RB105 interaction in vitro but to have little affect on E7-TBP interaction. Finally, it was found that E7 was able to affect Rep78's interaction with AAV's terminal repeat (TR) DNA in vitro, reducing the formation of the largest sized Rep78-TR complexes in a dosage-dependent manner.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>These data suggest that the Rep78-E7 interaction may have repercussions for both viruses. The Rep78-E7 interaction may be a second mechanism, in addition to Rep78 regulation of the p97 promoter, by which AAV inhibits HPV-16 oncogenic transformation.
