Abstract excerpt
Mice carrying the bovine papillomavirus type I genome develop dermal fibrosarcomas in a multiple step process characterized by distinctive proliferative stages. Chromosomal aberrations are identified early in this tumorigenic pathway, however, the mechanism that originates them is unknown. Using a functional assay, we investigated the status of the mitotic spindle cell cycle checkpoint (MSCCC) that regulates the...
