High incidence of bk virus large‐T‐antigen‐coding sequences in normal human tissues and tumors of different histotypes
9 Jun 1995
Abstract excerpt
T-antigen (TAg) coding sequences specific for BK virus (BKV) were detected, by PCR amplification followed by Southern-blot hybridization, in a high percentage of human tumors and tumor-cell lines, as well as in normal tissues, by analysis of 189 specimens. Specifically, the BKV early region was detected in 85% of brain tumors and in all normal brain tissues, in 78% of osteosarcomas, in 38% of Ewing's tumors, in...
