The RNA Subunit of Telomerase Is Encoded by Marek's Disease Virus
28 Apr 2003
Abstract excerpt
Marek's disease virus (MDV) is a herpesvirus of chickens that induces T lymphomas and tumors within 4 to 5 weeks of infection. Although the ability of MDV to induce tumors was demonstrated many years ago and although a number of viral oncogenic proteins have been identified, the mechanism by which the MDV is implicated in tumorigenesis is still unknown. We report the identification of a virus-encoded RNA...
