Abstract excerpt
The retroviral oncogene S3-v-erbB is a transduced, truncated form of the avian EGF (ErbB-1) receptor. Infection of avian fibroblasts with a retroviral vector expressing S3-v-ErbB results in ligand-independent cell transformation, which is accompanied by the assembly of a transformation-specific phosphoprotein signaling complex and anchorage-independent cell growth. It previously had been reported, using...
