Oncogenesis Flashcards
1
Q
RC is oncogenic via
A
cis-activating
not immediate
random insertion
2
Q
RD is oncogenic via
A
transduction
causes trouble anywhere it inserts b/c of v-oncogene AND promoter
causes cancer but not productive b/c needs helper virus
Takes only days
3
Q
Do C-oncogenes contain LTRs?
A
No, only V ones
4
Q

A
the virus is completely latent after primary infection. its genome may be integrated into the cellular genome or exist as episomes.
5
