The Raccoon Polyomavirus Genome and Tumor Antigen Transcription Are Stable and Abundant in Neuroglial Tumors
28 Aug 2014
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Raccoon polyomavirus (RacPyV) is associated with 100% of neuroglial tumors in free-ranging raccoons. Other tumor-associated polyomaviruses (PyVs), including simian virus 40 (SV40), murine PyV, and Merkel cell PyV, are found integrated in the host genome in neoplastic cells, where they constitutively express splice variants of the tumor antigen (TAg) gene. We have previously reported that RacPyV exists...
