DNA Tumor Viruses will focus on the DNA viruses in the human population that are associated with cancers. It will cover most of the viruses that are thought to contribute to human malignancy. Additionally, our author team is very strong—Blossom Damania has been awarded about $2 million in grants since she opened her lab at UNC (see below), and Jim Pipas is internationally renowned in the field of SV40 research. Represents a comprehensive review of the field of DNA tumor virology. Right now, while there are books out there that cover individual viruses that will be also covered in this book, there is no single book that covers this topic comprehensively INDICE: From the contents The polymaviral lifecylce. transformation by polyomaviruses. association of BK and JC Human polyomaviruses and SV40 with disease/cancer. recent advances in polyomaviruses. the papillomavirus lifecycle. transformation by papillomaviruses. association of HPV strains with human cancer. introduction to lage DNA tumor viruses (EBV and KSHV).
