Abstract excerpt
Mouse mammary tumour virus (MMTV) is the major aetiologic agent of mouse mammary tumour formation. The expression of this virus is regulated by steroid hormones and cell type specific factors. The nucleotide sequence that controls the steroid hormone response has already been localized between -202 and -59 upstream of the start of transcription in the long terminal repeat (LTR) region of the proviral DNA.
