HPV effects on oral cancer viability in vitro. HPV strains induced differential responses among CAL27, SCC-15 and SCC-25 cell lines. CAL27 viability was increased under all HPV experimental conditions, while SCC-15 and SCC-25 exhibited more nuanced, differential responses in cell viability to the HPV strains tested.
