Abstract excerpt
We have used replication-competent retroviral vectors to express avian and murine ras genes in cultured chick embryo fibroblasts (CEF) and in chickens. Since the viral vectors are identical, it is possible to compare the oncogenic potential of the ras genes directly. The normal (12 gly) form of chicken c-Ha-ras is not oncogenic in vivo, nor does high-level expression transform CEF. Expression of murine v-ras or...
