infected with Friend virus confirmed that retroviral integration could disrupt tumor suppressor genes, causing cancer. Viral oncogenes were subsequently

Activated oncogenes can cause those cells designated for apoptosis to survive and proliferate instead. Most oncogenes began as proto-oncogenes: normal genes

(myeloproliferative leukemia virus) oncogene. In 1990 an oncogene, v-mpl, was identified from the murine myeloproliferative leukemia virus that was capable of

A virus is a submicroscopic infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of an organism. Viruses infect all life forms, from animals

three Ras genes in humans (HRAS, KRAS, and NRAS) are the most common oncogenes in human cancer; mutations that permanently activate Ras are found in

papillomavirus infection (HPV infection) is a common infection caused by a DNA virus from the Papillomaviridae family. Many HPV infections cause no symptoms

tumor growth include Rous sarcoma virus and mouse mammary tumor virus. Cancer can be triggered by proto-oncogenes that were mistakenly incorporated into

Epstein–Barr virus–associated lymphoproliferative diseases (also abbreviated EBV-associated lymphoproliferative diseases or EBV+ LPD) are a group of disorders

keratinocyte, the virus expresses E1 and E2 proteins, which are for replicating and maintaining the viral DNA as a circular episome. The viral oncogenes E6 and E7

the ligand for MLP/C_MPL, the product of myeloproliferative leukemia virus oncogene. The thrombopoietin gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 3
