Abstract excerpt
The highly malignant line of morphologically transformed H-19 hamster tumor cells that harbor a single LTR, v-src, LTR provirus segregates morphologically flat revertants at the rate of 1.4 to 2.4 x 10(-3)/cell/cycle. Revertants behave like almost nonmalignant cells; they keep the provirus within an unaltered junction DNA fragment. However, the provirus is methylated, permanently transcriptionally silent, and not...
