Sentence examples for transforming virus from inspiring English sources

In 1968 researchers demonstrated that when a transforming virus (a virus capable of causing cancer) infects a normal cell, it inserts one of its genes into the host cell's genome.

In humans, onset of viral-associated cancer typically occurs decades after initial infection with a transforming virus; however, free-ranging raccoons are short lived (≈2 3 years), so this naturally occurring transformation event must be relatively rapid.

These approaches are not infallible; however, it is possible that a very small virus or proviral component might be involved or that a transforming virus has operated through a 'hit-and-run' mechanism.

Malignant transformation of various cell lines by retrograde transforming viruses and other means leads to increased PBGD activity (Rasetti et al, 1963; Kondo et al, 1993).

An immunosuppressive state may allow transforming viruses to proliferate, potentially causing malignant transformation through integration of viral DNA into host genomes and/or triggering antigenic stimulation, thereby increasing the likelihood of genetic mutations in B cells (Fisher and Fisher 2004).

The log transformed virus load levels at baseline, 3 months and 6 months follow up visits for each treatment group were further illustrated in a Boxplot graph in.

By removing their ability to reproduce, and loading them with the genes of our choice, we can transform viruses from causes of disease into vectors for cures.

The CTL capable of producing cytokines and cytotoxic mediators are armed to kill transformed, virus-infected, or allogeneic cells [1], [2].

Cellular proliferation is intimately linked to the mechanism(s) by which most tumor-associated viruses transform virus-infected cells.

In that year researchers working with mutant forms of Rous sarcoma virus i.e., nontransforming forms of the virus that did not cause tumours found that the transforming ability disappeared because of the loss or inactivation of a gene, called src, that was active in transforming viruses.

BSCTV must therefore either infect cells already in S-phase or alter the state of the cells so that they are competent to synthesize DNA, a strategy employed by vertebrate RNA and DNA transforming viruses [12], [13], [14].
