Hintergrund
CfPV-2 has unique biological features, it induces papillomas on footpads and interdigital regions which, if infection is persistent, can progress to highly metastatic squamous cell carcinoma. CfPV-2 does not induce oral papillomas in immunocompetent animals and antibodies generated against COPV and CfPV-2 are type-specific. The availability of a new canine papillomavirus with differing genetic and biological properties now makes it possible to study type-specific host immune responses, tissue tropism and the comparative analysis of viral gene functions in the dog.
