Journal ArticleDOI
The tat Gene of Human T-Lymphotropic Virus Type 1 Induces Mesenchymal Tumors in Transgenic Mice
TL;DR: The data establish tat as an oncogenic protein and HTLV-1 as a transforming virus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Host-specific activation of transcription by tandem repeats from simian virus 40 and Moloney murine sarcoma virus.
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the tandem repeat elements may interact with host-specific molecules and, furthermore, may constitute one of the elements determining the host range of these eukaryotic viruses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simian virus 40 tandem repeated sequences as an element of the early promoter
TL;DR: Observations indicate that the 72-base-pair repeated sequences form an essential element in the early viral transcriptional promoter and explain the inability of such a deleted genome to complement an early temperature-sensitive mutant of SV40, tsA, as well as the failure to replicate its DNA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reversal of oncogenesis by the expression of a major histocompatibility complex class I gene
TL;DR: The expression of a single class I gene, introduced by DNA-mediated gene transfer into highly tumorigenic adenovirus 12-transformed cells, was sufficient to abrogate the oncogenicity of these cells and has important implications for the regulation of the malignant phenotype in certain tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trans-activation of the human immunodeficiency virus long terminal repeat sequence by DNA viruses.

TL;DR: In conclusion, cotransfection of cells by HIV and some DNA viruses can stimulate the expression of HIV, and more-than-additive effects were observed at both the RNA and protein levels when tat plus type 1 herpes simplex virus DNAs or tatplus JC virus DN as were transfected into cells with the HIV LTR-CAT plasmid.
