Abstract:
Twenty instances of verruca vulgaris, equally divided between oral mucosa and lip vermillion, were assayed for the presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) capsid antigen and type-specific DNA employing in situ hybridization methods. All 10 cases arising on lip vermillon expressed capsid antigen and harbored HPV Type 2 genomes as assessed under conditions of high stringency DNA hybridization. Oral verrucae rarely expressed capsid antigen; HPV Type 2 genomes were encountered in 20% of the cases.
