Publications
Human papillomavirus is a necessary cause of invasive cervical cancer worldwideJ M Walboomers
Department of Pathology, University Hospital Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
J Pathol 189:12-9. 1999..The extreme rarity of HPV-negative cancers reinforces the rationale for HPV testing in addition to, or even instead of, cervical cytology in routine cervical screening...
A quantitative polymerase chain reaction-enzyme immunoassay for accurate measurements of human papillomavirus type 16 DNA levels in cervical scrapingsM V Jacobs
Department of Pathology, University Hospital Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Br J Cancer 81:114-21. 1999..Therefore, accurate measurements on viral DNA load in cervical scrapings require corrections for these phenomena, which can be achieved by application of this fully quantitative approach...
Assessment of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte phenotype using the specific markers granzyme B and TIA-1 in cervical neoplastic lesionsH J Bontkes
Department of Pathology, Free University Hospital, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Br J Cancer 76:1353-60. 1997..These results suggest that in some carcinomas proper activation of CTLs occurs but that most likely local factors or immunoselection of resistant neoplastic cells inhibit a proper response of CTLs to these neoplastic cells...
Telomerase activity exclusively in cervical carcinomas and a subset of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade III lesions: strong association with elevated messenger RNA levels of its catalytic subunit and high-risk human papillomavirus DNAP J Snijders
Department of Pathology, University Hospital Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Cancer Res 58:3812-8. 1998....
Processing of long-stored archival cervical smears for human papillomavirus detection by the polymerase chain reactionA M de Roda Husman
Department of Pathology, Free University Hospital, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Br J Cancer 72:412-7. 1995..provided that stepwise adjustments are made until beta-globin PCR positivity is obtained and primers are chosen which amplify a maximum of about 200 bp...
Analysis of MHC class I and II expression in relation to presence of HPV genotypes in premalignant and malignant cervical lesionsF V Cromme
Institute for Pathology, Free University Hospital, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Br J Cancer 67:1372-80. 1993..The results indicate that local differences may exist in the type of cellular immune response to HPV induced lesions...
HOXC4, HOXC5, and HOXC6 expression in primary cutaneous lymphoid lesions. High expression of HOXC5 in anaplastic large-cell lymphomasJ J Bijl
Department of Pathology, Vrije Universiteit Hospital, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Am J Pathol 151:1067-74. 1997....
Expression of CD3-zeta on T-cells in primary cervical carcinoma and in metastasis-positive and -negative pelvic lymph nodesT D de Gruijl
Department of Pathology, Free University Hospital, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Br J Cancer 79:1127-32. 1999..The apparently unimpaired zeta chain expression within draining lymph nodes suggests that local tumour-derived factors at the primary site are instrumental in zeta chain down-regulation...
A simplified and reliable HPV testing of archival Papanicolaou-stained cervical smears: application to cervical smears from cancer patients starting with cytologically normal smearsM V Jacobs
Department of Pathology, University Hospital Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Br J Cancer 82:1421-6. 2000....
Differences in MHC and TAP-1 expression in cervical cancer lymph node metastases as compared with the primary tumoursF V Cromme
Institute for Pathology, Free University Hospital, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Br J Cancer 69:1176-81. 1994..Furthermore, the lack of class II MHC expression in metastasised cells either reflects a different local lymphokine production or indicates that these cells may have escaped CD4+ cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL)-mediated killing...
Telomerase suppression by chromosome 6 in a human papillomavirus type 16-immortalized keratinocyte cell line and in a cervical cancer cell lineR D Steenbergen
Department of Pathology, Unit of Molecular Pathology, University Hospital Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
J Natl Cancer Inst 93:865-72. 2001..CONCLUSIONS: Chromosome 6 may harbor a repressor of hTERT transcription, the loss of which may be involved in HPV-mediated immortalization...
Lack of MHC class I surface expression on neoplastic cells and poor activation of the secretory pathway of cytotoxic cells in oral squamous cell carcinomasI Cruz
Department of Pathology, University Hospital Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Br J Cancer 81:881-9. 1999....
[Human papillomavirus and screening for cervical cancer: state of art and prospects]C J Meijer
Academisch Ziekenhuis Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam
Ned Tijdschr Geneeskd 144:1675-9. 2000....
Immortalization of human CD8+ T cell clones by ectopic expression of telomerase reverse transcriptaseE Hooijberg
Department of Immunology, The Netherlands Cancer Institute Antoni van Leeuwenhoek Hospital
J Immunol 165:4239-45. 2000..As the T cells remained dependent on cytokines and Ag stimulation for their in vitro expansion, we conclude that immortalization was achieved without malignant transformation...
General primer polymerase chain reaction in combination with sequence analysis for identification of potentially novel human papillomavirus genotypes in cervical lesionsA J van den Brule
Department of Pathology, Free University Hospital, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
J Clin Microbiol 30:1716-21. 1992....
Expression of the homeobox gene HOXC4 in keratinocytes of normal skin and epithelial skin tumors is correlated with differentiationE Rieger
Department of Pathology, Free University Hospital, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
J Invest Dermatol 103:341-6. 1994..These results suggest that HOXC4 is expressed mainly in differentiated keratinocytes. Lack of differentiation (as in neoplastic cells) is accompanied by downregulation of HOXC4 expression...
Immune responses against human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 virus-like particles in a cohort study of women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. I. Differential T-helper and IgG responses in relation to HPV infection and disease outcomeT D de Gruijl
Department of Pathology, Free University Hospital, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
J Gen Virol 80:399-408. 1999..However, neither cell-mediated nor humoral immune responses against HPV-16 L1 appear to be sufficient for the natural control of HPV infection and CIN development...
