This file includes EM images of infectious agents, acutely transforming, isolated from CTVT and human cancer cells.
These infectious living single-cell agents establish a new family of oncogenic organisms that resist current classifications and affect humans and animals in the wild.
While only a dozen of proteins compose a classic virus, these organisms are small infectious cells, but very distinct from somatic eukaryotic cells.
The identification of causative unicellular organisms that start cancer in healthy subjects and the possibility to induce cancer regression with a neutralizing vaccine change some perspectives in cancer.
The Precambrian features and the genetic composition suggest that these unicellular entities are infectious living RNA protocells that finally gives form to what was considered only a hypothesis drafted by the Nobel laureate Walter Gilmore: the RNA world, the origin of life and RNA protocells.
