MMTV‐like sequences in human breast cancer: a fluorescent PCR/laser microdissection approach

18 May 2006

Abstract excerpt

The hypothesis that a retrovirus homologous to the mouse mammary tumour virus (MMTV) is involved in human breast cancer aetiology has fascinated scientists from many years, but it has never been convincingly demonstrated. Renewed interest in this hypothesis developed when an MMTV env gene-like sequence was found in 38% of human breast cancer tissues. Whereas some subsequent studies confirmed these findings,...
