Modulation of Oncogenic Phenotype in Human Glioma Cells by Cytomegalovirus IE1–Mediated Mitogenicity
1 Feb 2008
Abstract excerpt
Recent evidence indicates that human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection occurs in a high percentage of human malignant gliomas in vivo, as the HCMV immediate early-1 (IE1) protein is detected in >90% of these tumors. The HCMV IE1 protein is essential for viral infection and has potent trans-activating and oncomodulatory properties. To investigate a potential role of HCMV in glioma biology, we stably expressed the...
