Abstract excerpt
Mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) expresses a superantigen (SAg) which plays a critical role in the viral life cycle. We have recently described the new infectious MMTV (SIM) encoding a Vbeta4-specific SAg in mice with a TCR-Vbeta(b) haplotype. We have now compared the SAg activity of this virus i...
