Merkel cell polyomavirus T antigens promote cell proliferation and inflammatory cytokine gene expression

Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV) is clonally integrated in over 80 % of Merkel cell carcinomas and mediates tumour development through the expression of viral oncoproteins, the large T (LT) and small T antigens (sT). Viral integration is associated with signature mutations in the T-antigen locus that...
