Abstract excerpt

Simian virus 40 (SV40) sequences for large tumor antigen (T-ag) were recently detected in a significant fraction of certain human brain tumors of early childhood (Bergsagel et al., N. Engl. J. Med. 326, 988-993, 1992). In the current study, we sought to determine whether authentic SV40 was present in the choroid plexus and ependymoma tumors previously examined. Polymerase chain reaction and DNA sequence analysis...
