HPV replicates in terminally differentiated squamous cells in the intermediate layers of the genital mucosa. Hence, these effects of the viral early region genes on DNA synthesis are critical for viral survival. Genital warts are the clinical manifestation of active viral replication and virion production at the infection site. 

Figure 1. Hierarchy of control of gene expression. A total of about 50,000 to 100,000 genes are necessary to encode a mammal, most of which encode housekeeping, structural component, or terminal differentiation gene products. Transcription factor genes regulate expression of the lower-level genes and are in turn controlled by other upper-level transcription factors.

TCDD inhibits the terminal differentiation of B cells via alteration of an early activation event, perhaps increased protein phosphorylation and tyrosine kinase activity (Clark et al. 1991a Kramer et al. 1987 Luster et al. 1988 Morris et al. 1991). Macrophage functions, examined ex vivo, generally have been found to be resistant to suppression by 2,3,7,8-TCDD (Mantovani et al. 1980 Vos et al. 1978). There is also evidence suggesting that inflammatory cells may be activated by 2,3,7,8-TCDD via enhanced production of inflammatory mediators such as interleukin 1 and tumor necrosis factor (Clark et al. 1991b Taylor etal. 1992). 

IL-10 causes the inhibition of general proinflammatory cytokine synthesis, APC function, and cell-mediated immunity and induces the terminal differentiation of B cells into plasmacytes, which results in production of antibodies. Consequently, it has important effects on T and B lymphocytes, NK cells, monocytes and/or macrophages, and mast cells. It is characterized by a paradoxical duality of function (negative and/or positive Box 22-5).
