Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: In contrast to many viruses, human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is unable to productively infect most cancer-derived cell lines. The mechanisms of this restriction are unclear. To explore this issue, we tested whether defined oncogenic alleles, including the simian virus 40 (SV40) T antigen (TAg) and oncogenic H-Ras, inhibit HCMV infection. We found that expression of SV40 TAg blocks HCMV infection in human...
