Abstract excerpt
The Ad5 E1A 12S gene encodes a nuclear protein that can immortalize and cooperate with other oncoproteins to transform primary epithelial cells. Expression of the first exon is necessary for the activation of cellular proliferation, immortalization, and transformation. The second exon is necessary for the maintenance of cellular proliferation, immortalization, and the induction of an epithelial cell growth factor...
