摘要: Over 50 years of polyomavirus research has produced a wealth insights into not only general biologic processes in mammalian cells, but also, how conditions can be altered and signaling systems tweaked to produce transformation phenotypes. In the past few three new members (KIV, WUV, MCV) have joined two previously known (JCV BKV) human polyomaviruses. this review, we present updated information on virologic features these polyomaviruses their natural host, concentrating association MCV with Merkel cell carcinoma. We further discussion advances made SV40 as prototypic model, which will continue inform our understanding about viruses cancer.
