    Chimeric provirus of bovine leukemia virus/SMAD family member 3 in cattle with enzootic bovine leukosis

    Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is a member of the family Retroviridae that causes enzootic bovine leukemia (EBL). However, the association between BLV infection and EBL development remains unclear. In this study, we...

    A high-throughput detection method for the clonality of Human T-cell leukemia virus type-1-infected cells in vivo

    Approximately 10–20 million of Human T-cell leukemia virus type-1 (HTLV-1)-infected carriers have been previously reported, and approximately 5% of these carriers develop adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) w...

    Furin-dependent CCL17-fused recombinant toxin controls HTLV-1 infection by targeting and eliminating infected CCR4-expressing cells in vitro and in vivo

    Adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) is caused by human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) infection. However, there are no therapies to prevent ATL development in high-risk asymptomatic carriers. To develop a thera...

    The proto-oncogene MYC is required for selection in the germinal center and cyclic reentry

    The molecular control of germinal center selection is still being determined. Dalla-Favera and colleagues show that the cell-cycle regulator c-Myc is essential for B cell selection and reentry into the germina...

    Genome-wide identification of post-translational modulators of transcription factor activity in human B cells

    Modulatory proteins ensure that transcription factors are active when and where they should be. Wang et al. describe an algorithm for identifying modulators from a compendium of gene expression profiles and exper...

    Genotoxic stress regulates expression of the proto-oncogene Bcl6 in germinal center B cells

    Antigen-specific B cells are selected in germinal centers, the structure in which these cells proliferate while accomplishing genome-remodeling processes such as class-switch recombination and somatic hypermut...

    BCL6 interacts with the transcription factor Miz-1 to suppress the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21 and cell cycle arrest in germinal center B cells

    The BCL6 proto-oncogene encodes a transcriptional repressor that is required for germinal center formation and has been linked to lymphomagenesis. BCL6 functions by directly binding to specific DNA sequences and ...
