  1. SV40 - Wikipedia

    • SV40 is a DNA virus that can cause tumors in animals, but usually persists as a latent infection. It was contaminated in some polio vaccines in the past, but no increased cancer risk was found. Learn about its virology, gene therapy, and multiplicity reactivation. See more

    Overview

    SV40 is an abbreviation for simian vacuolating virus 40 or simian virus 40, a polyomavirus that is found in both monkeys

    Human disease

    The hypothesis that SV40 might cause cancer in humans was a particularly controversial area of research, fuelled by the historical contamination of some batches of polio vaccine with SV40 in the 1950s and … See more

    Gene therapy

    Due to its high tissue tropism, biotechnology companies seek to utilize modified SV40 based vectors as a viral vector for gene therapy. In these helper dependent virus or packaging cell line assisted produced vectors the … See more

    Virology

    SV40 consists of an unenveloped icosahedral virion with a closed circular double-stranded DNA genome of 5.2 kb. The virion adheres to cell surface receptors of MHC class I by the virion glycoprotein VP1. Penetratio… See more

    Multiplicity reactivation

    SV40 is capable of multiplicity reactivation (MR). MR is the process by which two or more virus genomes containing otherwise lethal damage interact within an infected cell to form a viable virus genome. Yamamato … See more
