Presence of Simian Virus 40 DNA Sequences in Human Lymphoid and Hematopoietic Malignancies and Their Relationship to Aberrant Promoter Methylation of Multiple Genes
1 Jun 2004
Abstract excerpt
The simian polyoma virus SV40 has been detected in specific human tumors including non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, although a causative role for the virus has not been convincingly demonstrated. Aberrant methylation of CpG islands in promoter regions is a frequent method of silencing tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) in cancers and may be induced by oncogenic viruses. We investigated the relationship between the presence of...
