Total mRNA from parental and CDVR cells was isolated with the Quickprep mRNA purification kit (Amersham Biosciences) and converted to cDNA with the first-strand cDNA synthesis kit (GE Healthcare). The entire cDNA from each selected gene was amplified by PCR using specific primers. The PCR products were purified using PCR product purification kit (Roche) and directly sequenced using a cycle-sequencing kit (Dyenamic dye terminator kit; Amersham Biosciences), specific primers targeting both strands of the specific gene, and a capillary DNA sequencing system (MegaBACE 500; Amersham Biosciences). The data were assembled and compared to the DNA sequences obtained from reference sequences using Vector NTI software (Invitrogen). The primers used for the genotyping of UMP/CMPK1 and 2, and HPV oncogenes E6 and E7 are listed in Table S2.
