Abstract excerpt
Polyoma virus is highly oncogenic when inoculated into immunocompromised adult mice and neonatal mice of specific inbred strains. Although T lymphocytes are known to be essential in controlling polyoma virus tumorigenesis, the importance of class I MHC-restricted CD8+ T cells in mediating tumor resistance remains unclear. Here, we investigated the tumorigenicity of polyoma virus in adult mice rendered CD8+ T...
