Differences in the Ability of Human T-Cell Lymphotropic Virus Type 1 (HTLV-1) and HTLV-2 Tax To Inhibit p53 Function
1 Aug 2000
Abstract excerpt
We have analyzed the functional activity of the p53 tumor suppressor in human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 2 (HTLV-2)-transformed cells. Abundant levels of the p53 protein were detected in both HTLV-2A and -2B virus-infected cell lines. The p53 was functionally inactive, however, both in transient-transfection assays using a p53 reporter plasmid and in induction of p53-responsive genes in response to gamma...
