Abstract excerpt
Authentic simian virus 40 (SV40) has been detected in association with human choroid plexus and ependymoma tumors, and SV40-like DNA sequences have been found in some human osteosarcomas. We report here an analysis of human osteosarcoma samples for the presence of SV40 DNA using PCR and primers d...
