2. Fig. 1
Construction of transgenes. (A) Diagram of a transgene used previously, containing the entire early region of SV40 under control of 1.6-kb 5'-flanking sequence of the rat secretin gene, encoding both small t and large T antigens. (B) Diagrams illustrating SV40 early-region mutants used in the present study. Δt contains a deletion within the large T intron that abolishes the production of small t. The mutant Δt dl1135, in addition, contains the dl1135 deletion that results in the expression of Tag lacking amino acids 17–27.

Large T antigen expression in the small intestine of transgenic mice expressing (A) the Tag Δt mutant, (B) Tag Δt dl1135, or (C) the entire SV40 early region. Immunostaining for Tag in single epithelial cells in the small intestine of a 3-month-old Tag Δt mouse (A) or a 3-month-old Tag Δt dl1135 mouse (B). Large T antigen immunostaining of a small intramucosal tumor showing distorted structure of a single villus in a 6-week-old secretin SV40 early-region transgenic mouse (C). (Bar = 100 μm for C; 25 μm for A and B.)
