Regression of a recurrent and invasive SCC, a type of skin cancer after transplantation of HPV-specific T cells! This suggests an oncogenic role for HPV (Beta1-HPV) for this type of skin cancer and for boosting immunity against the virus to treat the tumor. www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/...
Resolution of Squamous-Cell Carcinoma by Restoring T-Cell Receptor Signaling | NEJM
Cutaneous squamous-cell carcinoma (SCC) is primarily caused by oncogenesis mediated
by ultraviolet radiation, and β-human papillomavirus (β-HPV) is believed to be a mere

I’ve defended Richard Ebright’s scientific contributions.
So I feel compelled to highlight this paper by Rasmussen et al, arguably one of the most important papers showing the role of host genetics in viral pathogenesis: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25359852/
Not a zero accomplishment.
Facts matter.

Go to microbe.tv the home of all podcasts by Vincent Racaniello. Search for vaccine derived polio. I‘m sure an episode will pop up. Otherwise, the whole Virology 101 lecture he gives at Columbia is on Youtube. Would surprise me if the polio vaccine isn’t mentioned there.
