abstract：:According to earlier genetic experiments, a region within the N-terminal 50-100 amino acids may be important for the replication function of T antigen, the initiator protein of simian virus 40 (SV40). We have investigated this possibility using the T antigen related D2 protein in several biochemical assay systems. D2 ...
