Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: JC virus (JCV) is a polyomavirus that causes progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) in humans and is highly oncogenic in experimental animals. Transgenic mice with JCV T-antigen develop cerebellar tumors, which resemble human medulloblastomas, containing two distinct cell subpopulations, T-antigen positive and negative. In T-negative clones, a novel mutant p53 was detected (p53(mt))....
