Canine transmissible venereal tumor (CTVT) is an infectious disease of dogs. Remarkably,
the infectious agent is the cancerous cell itself. To investigate its origin and spread, we …

The transmissible agent causing canine transmissible venereal tumor (CTVT) is thought to
be the tumor cell itself. To test this hypothesis, we analyzed genetic markers including major …

Canine transmissible venereal tumor (CTVT) is the oldest known somatic cell lineage. It is a
transmissible cancer that propagates naturally in dogs. We sequenced the genomes of two …

The canine transmissible venereal tumour (CTVT) is a transmissible cancer that is spread
between dogs by the allogeneic transfer of living cancer cells during coitus. CTVT affects …

INTRODUCTION The canine transmissible venereal tumor (CTVT) is a sexually transmitted
cancer that manifests as genital tumors in dogs. This cancer first arose in an individual …

Background The canine transmissible venereal tumour (CTVT) is a contagious cancer that is
naturally transmitted between dogs by the allogeneic transfer of living cancer cells during …

In this issue of Cell, Murgia et al.(2006) confirm that the infectious agent of canine
transmissible venereal tumor is the cancer cell itself and that the tumor is clonal in origin …

Populations of cancer cells are subject to the same core evolutionary processes as
asexually reproducing, unicellular organisms. Transmissible cancers are particularly striking …

Canine transmissible venereal tumor (CTVT) is a unique tumor that can be transplanted
across the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) barrier by viable tumor cells. In dogs …

Canine transmissible venereal tumour (CTVT) is the only known naturally occurring tumour
that can be transplanted as an allograft across major histocompatibility (MHC) barriers within …
