Transgenic mice harboring the early genome from the human neurotropic JC virus, JCV, develop massive abdominal tumors of neural crest origin during 6-8 months after birth and succumb to death a few weeks later. The viral early protein, T-antigen, which possesses the ability to transform cells of neu
