Functional genomic analysis reveals distinct neoplastic phenotypes associated with c-myb mutation in the bursa of Fabricius.

Abstract excerpt

Avian retroviral integration into the c-myb locus is casually associated with the development of lymphomas in the bursa of Farbricius of chickens; these arise with a shorter latency than bursal lymphomas caused by deregulation of c-myc. This study indicates that c-myb mutation in embryonic bursal precursors leads to an oligoclonal population of developing bursal follicles, showing a variable propensity to form a...
