Abstract excerpt
Two sets of mutants of the Abelson murine leukemia virus, generated by linker insertion mutagenesis of a cloned proviral DNA, were tested for their ability to transform bone marrow cultures in vitro. All the viruses retained an intact tyrosine kinase domain and were competent for transformation of NIH3T3 fibroblasts in culture. One series contained 12-bp linker insertions in the regions flanking the kinase...
