Abstract excerpt
Myoblasts from skeletal muscle of chicken or Japanese quail embryos were infected with avian sarcoma virus 17 (ASV-17), a retrovirus carrying the jun oncogene. At high multiplicities of infection ASV-17-induced morphologic transformation inhibited fusion of myoblasts into myotubes and stimulated extended replication. The expression of the muscle-specific proteins desmin, myosin and creatine phosphokinase was...
