Abstract excerpt
We have previously demonstrated that CD95-mediated apoptosis of hepatocytes is blocked in a murine model of hepatocarcinogenesis due to the expression of SV40 early sequences encoding the large-T and small-t antigens. In this study, we set out to pinpoint the sequences involved in this apoptosis-resistant phenotype, and tested several mutants of the SV40 early region for their ability to confer protection against...
