Abstract excerpt
To investigate the mechanism by which the polyomavirus large T antigen (T-Ag) promotes amplification of integrated viral sequences, we constructed a rat cell line, Hy2-ts5, carrying two different inserts of polyomavirus DNA. The first insert, designated the middle T (pmt) locus, was devised to analyze homologous recombination between two defective copies of pmt lying 3.3 kb apart on the same chromosome....
