Disease relevance of Mtv43

Interestingly, the superantigen activity of this mouse strain segregates with a new mammary tumor provirus, Mtv-43, not seen in other inbred strains [1].
The sequence of the open reading frame (ORF) in the 3' long terminal repeat (LTR) of Mtv-50 was strikingly similar to those of Mtv-7, Mtv-43 and exogenous mouse mammary tumor virus (SW) with properties of minor lymphocyte stimulating antigen 1a [2].

High impact information on Mtv43

The predicted amino acid sequence of the sag gene of Mtv-43 was compared with that of Mtv-7 [1].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Mtv43

Sequence analyses revealed that the predicted amino acid sequences of the Mtv-7 and the Mtv-43 sag genes are very similar [3].
