Further validation of SV40-like DNA in human pleural mesotheliomas.
We have confirmed in a second set of patients having human pleural mesothelioma that DNA for regions of the amino terminus of SV40 Tag can be amplified by the polymerase chain reaction. Moreover, other regions, including the carboxy terminus for Tag, and the regulatory region of SV40, are present in these specimens.
