THE NONCODING AND SURFACE ENVELOPE CODING SEQUENCES OF MYELOBLASTOSIS-ASSOCIATED VIRUS ARE RESPECTIVELY RESPONSIBLE FOR NEPHROBLASTOMA DEVELOPMENT AND RENAL HYPERPLASIA
V. Joliot et al., THE NONCODING AND SURFACE ENVELOPE CODING SEQUENCES OF MYELOBLASTOSIS-ASSOCIATED VIRUS ARE RESPECTIVELY RESPONSIBLE FOR NEPHROBLASTOMA DEVELOPMENT AND RENAL HYPERPLASIA, Journal of virology, 70(4), 1996, pp. 2576-2580
The use of chimeric viruses allowed us to establish that myeloblastosi
s-associated, virus long terminal repeat sequences are necessary and s
ufficient for induction of nephroblastoma in chickens and that the bla
stemal hyperplasia induced by env SU is not a prerequisite for tumor d
evelopment but rather constitutes a predisposing stage.
