Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Polyomaviruses, including simian virus 40 (SV40), display evidence of lymphotropic properties. This study analyzed the nature of SV40-human lymphocyte interactions in established cell lines and in primary lymphocytes. The effects of viral microRNA and the structure of the viral regulatory region on SV40 persistence were examined. RESULTS: SV40 DNA was maintained in infected B cell and myeloid cell...
