Role of the Short Telomeric Repeat Region in Marek's Disease Virus Replication, Genomic Integration, and Lymphomagenesis
2 Oct 2014
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Marek's disease virus (MDV) is a cell-associated alphaherpesvirus that causes generalized polyneuritis and T-cell lymphomas in chickens. MDV is able to integrate its genome into host telomeres, but the mechanism of integration is poorly understood. The MDV genome harbors two arrays of telomeric repeats (TMR) at the ends of its linear genome: multiple telomeric repeats (mTMR), with a variable number of...
