书目名称 | Jaagsiekte Sheep Retrovirus and Lung Cancer | 编辑 | Hung Fan | 视频video | | 丛书名称 | Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology | 图书封面 |  | 描述 | Retroviruses have been of great importance to biomedical science for the past half century. Initially, studies on oncogenic animal retroviruses provided important insights into molecular processes in carcinogenesis – most notably the existence and mechanisms of action of oncogenes and proto-oncogenes. Moreover, several human diseases are caused by retroviruses, including AIDS, adult T-cell leukemia and the neurological disease HAM/TSP. The topic of this volume is a relatively unknown animal retrovirus, jaagsiekte sheep retrovirus, the causative agent of transmissible lung cancer in sheep –ovine pulmonary adenocarcinoma. The disease was first documented in South Africa in the 1800s, it has a wide geographical distribution, and it is of economic importance in high endemic regions. However, until very recently the nature of the etiologic agent was unclear, and relatively few laboratories actively studied the disease. | 出版日期 | Book 2003 | 关键词 | AIDS; diseases; gene; gene therapy; leukemia; maedi virus; molecular biology; oncogenesis; ovine pulmonary a | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-55638-8 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-642-62897-9 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-642-55638-8Series ISSN 0070-217X Series E-ISSN 2196-9965 | issn_series | 0070-217X | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer-Verlag GmbH, DE |
