Amino acid insertion in the Meq protein of Marek’s disease virus, an avian oncogenic herpesvirus, accelerates tumorigenesis

Amino acid insertion in the Meq protein of Marek’s disease virus, an avian oncogenic herpesvirus, accelerates tumorigenesis

ABSTRACT Marek’s disease virus (MDV) causes lymphomas (Marek’s disease) in chickens. Despite vaccination, MDV field strains exhibit increased virulence, and sporadic outbreaks are still reported. An insertion/deletion in Meq has been identified in several MDV strains, and our previous study using re...
