Wounding prior to challenge substantially improves infectivity of cottontail rabbit papillomavirus and allows for standardization of infection

Abstract: The cottontail rabbit papillomavirus (CRPV) / rabbit model has proved useful for the investigation of prophylactic and therapeutic vaccines and for the study of the pathogenesis of papillomavirus infection. It is currently the only animal model in which the entire viral program can be recapitulated, including progression to cancer. CRPV DNA is infectious in domestic rabbits and therefore mutants can be studied without the need to generate corresponding viruses. Although the CRPV animal model is used widely in … Show more

“…The proposed role of A2t in HPV16 entry fits well into the context of epithelial wounding and access to the basal cells, which potentiates the efficiency of papillomavirus infection in vivo (5)(6)(7)86). Both AnxA2 and S100A10/p11 are expressed in the stratified epithelium (56)(57)(58), but AnxA2 expression in intact and wounded skin is more concentrated to the surface of basal cells (57,58).…”

“…Groups B and E contained 10 rabbits each. Six months after the final booster immunization, 5 rabbits in each group were challenged at two sites per construct with HPV quasivirions for HPV types 16, 18, 31, 35, 39, 45, 58, 59, and wildtype CRPV virions as previously described [29,34]. The doses of the HPV-QV that were used were sufficient to ensure an infection as pretested on a limited number of naïve rabbits.…”

“…The experiment was conducted following IACUC approval from Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine. The rabbits were challenged with wild type CRPV at four back skin sites as described previously [36]. 5μg DNA was used for each challenge site.…”
