T-cell transformation by Marek's disease virus

N L Ross. Trends Microbiol. 1999 Jan.

Abstract

Marek's disease virus (MDV) is an avian herpesvirus that causes rapid development of T-cell lymphomas in chickens. The MDV genes currently thought to be involved in lymphomagenesis include a bZIP transactivator that is homologous to fos and jun oncogenes but do not appear to have counterparts in other oncogenic herpesviruses.
