Abstract excerpt
To investigate the mechanism by which the large T antigen (T-Ag) of polyomavirus and simian virus 40 can promote recombination in mammalian cells, we analyzed homologous recombination events occurring between two defective copies of the polyomavirus middle T (pmt) oncogene lying in close proximity on the same chromosome in a rat cell line. Reconstitution of a functional pmt gene by spontaneous recombination...
