Abstract excerpt
Avian leukosis virus (ALV) induces bursal lymphoma in tumor-susceptible chicken strains after proviral integration within the c-myc gene, and subsequent expansion of Myc-overexpressing lymphocytes within transformed follicles. Line 6(3) strain chickens are resistant to ALV tumorigenesis, largely failing to develop Myc-transformed follicles, although they show similar levels of ALV infection and integration as...
