Transgenic Expression of Polyomavirus Middle T Antigen in the Mouse Prostate Gives Rise to Carcinoma
17 Mar 2011
Abstract excerpt
The middle T (MT) antigen of polyomavirus has provided fundamental insights into the regulation of mammalian cell growth in vitro and important animal models for the analysis of tumor induction. The mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV)-MT model of breast cancer has been important for probing the cellular signaling pathways in mammary tumorigenesis. MT itself has no intrinsic enzymatic activity but, rather, transforms...
