2024-01-09
Abstract excerpt
Simian virus 40 (SV40) is a monkey virus associated with several types of human cancers. SV40 is most frequently detected in mesotheliomas, brain and bone tumors and lymphomas, but the mechanism for SV40 tumorigenesis in humans is not clear. SV40 relative Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) causes Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) in humans by expressing truncated large tumor antigen (LT) caused by APOBEC cytidine deaminas...
