Type B leukemogenic virus (TBLV) induces rapidly appearing T-cell leukemias. TBLV insertions near the c-myc gene were detectable in 2 of 30 tumors tested, whereas 80% of the tumors showed c-myc overexpression. TBLV insertions on chromosome 15 (including a newly identified locus, Pad7) may cause c-myc overexpression by cis-acting effects at a distance.
B型致白血病病毒(TBLV)可诱发迅速出现的T细胞白血病。在检测的30个肿瘤中,有2个可检测到TBLV插入c-myc基因附近,而80%的肿瘤显示c-myc过表达。15号染色体上的TBLV插入(包括一个新发现的位点Pad7)可能通过远距离的顺式作用效应导致c-myc过表达。
