Cells transformed by Human Herpesvirus Type 2 transcribe Virus-specific RNA Sequences shared by Herpesvirus Types 1 and 2

Nature New Biology volume 243, pages 264–266 (1973)Cite this article

Abstract

RECENT studies associate herpesviruses with neoplastic diseases of several animal species and man (see review by Klein1). Direct evidence links herpesviruses with the aetiology of Marek's disease of chickens2 and with the Lucke adenocarcinoma of the frog3–6, and less direct but persuasive data associate the Epstein-Barr herpesvirus with human Burkitt's lymphoma1. Herpesviruses with oncogenic properties have also been isolated from monkeys7 and rabbits8, although their role in cancer has not been established.
