DNA of a new papillomavirus type was cloned from a cervical carcinoma biopsy. Two EcoRI clones of 7.8 and 6.9 kilobases in length were obtained, the latter contained a 900-base pair deletion. The BamHI fragments of both clones were used to characterize the DNA. It represents a distinct type of papillomavirus as determined by its size, its cross-hybridization with DNA of other papillomavirus types under conditions of low stringency only, the co-linear alignment of its genome with human papillomavirus type 6 (HPV 6) and HPV 16 prototypes and its occasional occurrence as oligomeric episomes. The virus was tentatively designated HPV 18. DNA hybridizing with HPV 18 under stringent conditions was detected in 9/36 cervical carcinomas from Africa and Brazil, in 2/13 cervical tumors from Germany and 1/10 penile carcinomas. Benign tumors (17 cervical dysplasias, 29 genital warts), 8 carcinomata in situ and 15 biopsies of normal cervical tissue were devoid of detectable HPV 18 DNA. HPV 18-related DNA was found, however, in human cells of the HeLa, KB and C4-1 lines, all derived from cervical cancer. The state of the viral DNA was investigated in 4 cervical cancer biopsies. The DNA might be integrated into the host cell genome. One tumor provided evidence for head to tail tandem repeats, some of which persisted as circular episomes.
