Abstract excerpt
Simian virus 40 large T antigen (SVLTAg) has been used to immortalize cells; however, the mechanism leading to immortalization is still unclear. We hypothesize that DNA mismatch repair (MMR) activity is important during SVLTAg-induced immortalization. To test this hypothesis, we used the SVLTAg-immortalized cell line BPH-1 derived from human benign prostate epithelial cells to analyze MMR activity and the...
