Analysis of avian leukosis virus DNA and RNA in bursal tumors: Viral gene expression is not required for maintenance of the tumor state

TL;DR: The structures of the aberrant proviruses and the absence of normal viral RNA in some tumors indicate that expression of viral genes is not required for maintenance of the tumor phenotype, in at least some cases, the mechanism of oncogenesis may involve stimulation of transcription of flanking cellular sequences by a viral promoter.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activation of the cellular oncogene c-erbB by ltr insertion: Molecular basis for induction of erythroblastosis by avian leukosis virus

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that ALV utilizes a similar mechanism in erythroblastosis induction by activating a different cellular oncogene, c-erbB, which provides a molecular explanation for the multipotency of slowly oncogenic retroviruses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transgenic chickens: Insertion of retroviral genes into the chicken germ line

TL;DR: One of the viruses is a candidate vector for insertion of foreign genes into the chicken germ line and transmitted from G-1 to the G-2 progeny in a Mendelian fashion thus proving that retroviral genes have been inserted into theChicken germ line.
