- Title
Interview with a Retrovirologist: Wibke Bayer in conversation with Hung Fan.
- Authors
Fan, Hung; Bayer, Wibke
- Abstract
And that's the reason why essentially all of the molecular biology work coming out of the Baltimore lab was Moloney virus based as opposed to let's say Rauscher or Friend virus. After joining Prof. Ulf Dittmer's lab at the University Hospital Essen in 2010, she established her research group that focuses on the development of adenovirus-based vaccine vectors for immunization against retrovirus infections and on the pathogenesis of the Friend retrovirus infection of mice, with a current focus on the immunosuppression by retrovirus Env. We determined that the size of virus-specific RNA in infected cells is the same size as the genomic RNA, as well as subgenomic RNA. At that time, the two big RNA tumor viruses were Rous sarcoma virus, and the murine leukemia viruses.
