Abstract excerpt
One of the early genes of polyomavirus, large T-antigen (PVLT), has been classified in vitro as an immortalizing gene. In order to determine the ability of PVLT to cause the formation of hyperplasia or tumors in vivo, we generated transgenic mice harboring the cDNA for PVLT linked to the heavy-metal responsive metallothionein-1 promoter (MT). The transgene was primarily expressed in testes and seminal vesicles,...
