| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Intrinsic immunity, including APOBEC family, is a defense system inherent to a cell itself. Viral oncogenesis by EBV, HPV has been a matter of issue these days. We identified that APOBEC3G was overexpressed in both EBV-pisitive nasopharyngeal cancer and HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancer tissues. Moreover, APOBEC specific G to A, C to T mutations were frequently detected in HPV-E2 region. These results suggest that intrinsic immunity, especially, APOBEC3G, is associated with HPV-mediated oropharyngeal oncogenesis.
