Introns enable the polyomavirus middle and small T antigens to stimulate the growth of primary rat embryo fibroblasts
Abstract
We constructed spliceable vectors that separately encode polyomavirus MT and ST. The addition of an intron enables MT to transform and to immortalize more efficiently and ST to transiently stimulate the growth of primary rat embryo fibroblasts.
