title: Expression of the gene for the polyoma small T antigen in Escherichia coli.
abstract: A cloned segment of the polyoma virus genome encoding the small T antigen has been fused, in the correct phase for translation, to the 5' end of the beta-galactosidase gene. The hybrid gene, cloned in Escherichia coli, produces a protein resembling the small T antigen.
