Abstract excerpt
The E5 protein of bovine papillomavirus type 1 binds to and activates the endogenous platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) beta receptor in fibroblasts, resulting in cell transformation. We have developed a functional assay to test the ability of PDGF beta receptor mutants to mediate a mitogenic signal initiated by the E5 protein. Lymphoid Ba/F3 cells are strictly dependent on interleukin-3 for growth, but...
