Target

IntroductionThe nonstructural regulatory Tax protein is a unique feature of delta retroviruses, a subgroup of retroviruses that confer long-lasting infection in mammalian lymphocytes. These proteins are essential for efficient viral replication, and they stimulate the proliferation of host lymphocytes. Tax has been shown to be carcinogenic as it transforms and immortalizes rodent fibroblasts and human T lymphocytes. Tax also stimulates cell growth by directly binding cyclin-dependent kinase pore enzymes and/or inactivating tumor suppressors (eg, p53, DLG). In addition, Tax silences cellular checkpoints, thereby preventing DNA structural damage and chromosome missegregation, thereby favoring the expression of mutant phenotypes in cells.
Product OverviewThe tax antibody is used as Infectious Disease Antibodies.
