Abstract excerpt
The retroviral oncoprotein v-Rel is a transcriptional activator in the Rel/NF-kappa B family. v-Rel causes rapidly fatal lymphomas in young chickens, and transforms and immortalizes chicken lymphoid cells in vitro. Several mutations that have enhanced the oncogenicity of v-Rel have been selected during in vitro and in vivo passage of v-Rel-containing retroviruses. In this report, we show that the C-terminal...
