Functional complementation of the adenovirus E1B 19-kilodalton protein with Bcl-2 in the inhibition of apoptosis in infected cells

Abstract excerpt

Expression of the adenovirus E1A oncogene induces apoptosis which impedes both the transformation of primary rodent cells and productive adenovirus infection of human cells. Coexpression of E1A with the E1B 19,000-molecular-weight protein (19K protein) or the Bcl-2 protein, both of which have antiapoptotic activity, is necessary for efficient transformation. Induction of apoptosis by E1A in rodent cells is...
