Merkel cell polyomavirus small tumor antigen contributes to immune evasion by interfering with type I interferon signaling
2024-06-29
Abstract excerpt
Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) is the causative agent of the majority of Merkel cell carcinomas (MCC). The virus has limited coding capacity, with its early viral proteins, large T (LT) and small T (sT), being multifunctional and contributing to infection and transformation. A fundamental difference in early viral gene expression between infection and MCPyV-driven tumorigenesis is the expression of a truncated L...
