One interesting study is called, Absence of SV40 large T-antigen expression in human mesothelioma cell lines. By Pilatte Y, Vivo C, Renier A, Kheuang L, Greffard A, Jaurand MC - Am J Respir Cell Mol Biol. 2000 Dec;23 (6):788-93. - INSERM, Crteil, France. Here is an excerpt: Abstract - Simian virus (SV) 40 and SV40-like DNA sequences have recently been detected in several types of human tumors, including malignant mesothelioma. However, the presence of SV40 DNA sequences is not sufficient to account for its possible role in tumor development because the viral proteins must be expressed and ultimately impair the function of relevant cell proteins, such as p53 and pRb. In this study we investigated SV40 large T antigen (SV40 Tag) protein expression in mesothelioma cell lines, established in our laboratory, by Western blotting, immunoprecipitation, and immunocytochemistry using Tag-specific mouse monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) Ab-1 (or Pab 419). By Western blotting of cell extracts, none of the mesothelioma cell lines expressed detectable amounts of SV40 Tag. However, we found that Ab-1 as well as Pab-101, another SV 40 Tag-specific mAb, may generate false-positive signals due to the...more

Orthotics: The Best Treatment Solution for Foot Disorders Nowadays lots of people complain about distinct kinds of pain due to the hectic daily routines that we have.
