TT virus-derived apoptosis-inducing protein induces apoptosis preferentially in hepatocellular carcinoma-derived cells
27 May 2004
Abstract excerpt
TT virus (TTV) is widespread among the global population. Its pathogenic nature is still unclear but TTV seems to be more prevalent in cases of hepatitis than in healthy individuals. TTV harbours similarities to chicken anaemia virus (CAV). Here, the apoptotic potential of a putative TTV-derived 105 aa protein and of the main apoptosis-inducing agent of CAV, Apoptin, is compared. As the putative protein induced...
