Abstract
Transmission of the bovine papillomavirus-1 (BPV-1) genome through the mouse germ line results in the heritable formation of fibropapillomas of the skin, a tissue-specific phenotype analogous to that observed in natural BPV-1 infection of cattle. Oncogenesis is slow, with tumours first arising at 8–9 months of age, usually in areas prone to wounding. Extrachromosomal BPV-1 DNA is detected in all tumours, whereas normal tissues show only integrated DNA.
