T antigen of BK papovavirus in infected and transformed cells.

PMCID: PMC525981  PMID: 205676

Abstract

BK virus T antigen from BKV-transformed rat and hamster cells and from productively infected monkey cells has been examined by immunoprecipitation followed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Forms of the antigen that migrate as proteins of 86,000 and 92,000 daltons have been identified. Both forms can be labeled by 32P.
