Induction of genomic instability in SV40 transformed human cells: sufficiency of the N-terminal 147 amino acids of large T antigen and role of pRB and p53.

Abstract excerpt

Genomic instability is an early event in the transformation of human cells by SV40 and may contribute, as a mutagenic process, to the generation of the rare cells which survive crisis and yield immortal populations. We have previously reported that expression of large T antigen is responsible for induction of chromosome aberrations and aneuploidy. In the present study we have demonstrated that the amino terminal...
