Abstract excerpt
The coding sequences of avian (quail) or murine c-jun proto-oncogenes were introduced into a non-defective retroviral vector derived from Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) in which c-jun replaces v-src. Primary avian fibroblasts chronically infected with either one of these viruses exhibit some phenotypic traits characteristic of RSV-transformed cells, including sustained growth in low serum medium and ability to develop...
