Abstract

The small eukaryotic DNA tumour virus, SV40, has long provided a very useful model for the study of eukaryotic DNA replication and cellular transformation. The viral gene product, large-tumour (large-T) antigen, is essential for the initiation of viral DNA replication and the initiation and maintenance of SV40-virus-mediated cellular transformation. The large-T antigen is a complex multifunctional protein, and to delineate its activity more precisely in viral DNA replication and cellular transformation, small functional domains of the protein have been expressed in Escherichia coli and analysed by using a very extensive library of anti-T monoclonal antibodies.
