RESUMO
We constructed a set of deleted BK viral DNAs that lack part of the triplicated 68-base-pair (bp) sequences (the central unit has an 18-bp deletion) and assayed them for capacity to transform hamster kidney cells. Deletion of one of the two 68-bp units remarkably enhanced transforming capacity.
