SV40, also known as Simian virus 40, is found in both humans and monkeys. The virus attacks and integrates itself into our DNA which can lead to cancerous cell activity. It is believed that SV40 supresses the transcriptional properties of tumour-suppressing genes, which increases the likelihood of mutated genes and uncontrolled cellular proliferation.
Michele Carbone, Assistant Professor of Pathology at Loyola University in Chicago, has recently isolated fragments of the SV40 virus in human bone cancers and in a lethal form of lung cancer called mesothelioma. He found sv40 in 33% of the osteosarcoma bone cancers studied, in 40% of other bone cancers, and in 60% of the mesotheliomas lung cancers, writes Geraldo Fuentes.
