TLDR
A new murine oncogenic virus has been isolated which induces solid lymphoid tumors within a short latent period, and thymic-independent tumor induction distinguishes this virus from the other experimental murine lymphoid leukemia viruses.
Abstract
Summary A new murine oncogenic virus has been isolated which induces solid lymphoid tumors within a short latent period. A unique feature of this disease is the lack of thymic involvement. Thymic-independent tumor induction distinguishes this virus from the other experimental murine lymphoid leukemia viruses. In addition, massive meningeal tumors, a myelocytic leukemoid reaction, and no evidence of a disseminated leukemia constitute this disease syndrome.

The c- myc oncogene driven by immunoglobulin enhancers induces lymphoid malignancy in transgenic mice

TL;DR: Transgenic mice bearing the cellular myc oncogene coupled to the immunoglobulin μ or κ enhancer frequently develop a fatal lymphoma within a few months of birth and constitutive c-myc expression appears to be highly leukaemogenic at several stages of B-cell maturation.

The molecular biology of chronic myeloid leukemia

TL;DR: The discovery of the Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome in 19601 as the first consistent chromosomal abnormality associated with a specific type of leukemia was a breakthrough in cancer biology and took 13 years to be published.

Inhibition of the Abl Protein-Tyrosine Kinase in Vitro and in Vivo by a 2-Phenylaminopyrimidine Derivative

TL;DR: An inhibitor (CGP 57148) of the Abl and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor protein-tyrosine kinases from the 2-phenylaminopyrimidine class is described, which is highly active in vitro and in vivo and may have therapeutic potential for the treatment of diseases that involve abnormal cellular proliferation induced by Abl protein-tiesine kinase deregulation or PDGF receptor activation.

Functional macrophage cell lines transformed by Abelson leukemia virus.

TL;DR: Secretion of infectious Abelson leukemia virus by two of the cloned cell lines provides conclusive evidence that the Abelson virus is capable of productively infecting the macrophage cell type.

The Molecular Genetics of Philadelphia Chromosome–Positive Leukemias

TL;DR: A novel approach is proposed to evaluate the role of “cellular oncogenes ” in the pathogenesis of leukaemia by exploiting their role in the “translation” of DNA to RNA.

Influence of prednisolone on Moloney leukemogenic virus in BALB-c mice

TL;DR: Long-term administration of prednisolone to BALB/c mice alters the reactivity of their lymphoid tissue to the oncogenic effects of Moloney leukemia virus, resulting in solid lymphosarcoma or granulocytic leukemia.
