Diversity (Polymorphism) of the meq Gene in the Attenuated Marek's Disease Virus (MDV) Serotype 1 and MDV-Transformed Cell Lines.
1 Jan 2002
Abstract excerpt
The meq gene encoding a 339-amino-acid bZIP transactivator protein has been identified as a candidate oncogene of Marek's disease virus serotype 1 (MDV1), which induces malignant lymphomas in chickens. We have previously reported that, in addition to meq, L-meq, in which a 180-bp sequence is inserted into the region encoding the transactivation domain of meq, is also detected in chickens experimentally infected...
