Induction of an oncogenic fusion protein by a viral gene—a new chapter in an old story

Nature Medicine volume 5, pages 991–992 (1999)Cite this article

Abstract

A combination of 19th century cytology and 20th century molecular biology has uncovered a previously unknown mechanism by which viruses may contribute to carcinogenesis (pages 1076–1079).
