<h4>Background</h4>A large fraction of murine tumors induced by transgenic expression of SV40 large T antigen (SV40 TAg) exhibits a neuroendocrine phenotype. It is unclear whether SV40 TAg induces the neuroendocrine phenotype by preferential transformation of progenitor cells committed to the neuroendocrine lineage or by transcriptional activation of neuroendocrine genes.<h4>Methodology/principal findings</h4>To address this question we analyzed CEA424-SV40 TAg-transgenic mice that develop spont ...[more]
