Abstract excerpt
Polyomavirus, a DNA tumor virus, expresses three viral oncoproteins (large, middle and small T antigens), causes malignant transformation in cell culture and induces multiple tumors in vivo. The middle T (MT) antigen seems to play an essential role in transformation and tumorigenicity. The observ...
