Abstract excerpt
To clarify the relationship between various functions of the polyomavirus large T antigen and the contribution of this oncogene toward neoplastic transformation, we have analyzed the properties of mutants with in-frame deletions in the second large T exon. dl45, dl96, and dl97 have retained the ability to immortalize primary rat embryo fibroblasts and to trans-activate viral promoters. dl8, dl23, and dl300, which...
