Abstract excerpt
The Friend erythroleukemia virus complex contains no cell-derived oncogene. Transformation by this virus may therefore involve mutations affecting cellular gene expression. We provide evidence that inactivating mutations of the cellular p53 gene are a common feature in Friend virus-induced malignancy, consistent with an antioncogene role for p53 in this disease. We have shown that frequent rearrangements of the...
