Abstract excerpt
Avian myelocytomatosis virus MC29 induces a wide variety of neoplastic diseases in infected birds and transforms cells of the macrophage lineage as well as fibroblasts and epithelial cells. A biological and biochemical analysis, carried out on a series of in-frame insertion and deletion mutations within the gag-myc gene of MC29, revealed several mutations within the 5' portion of the v-myc gene that encode...
