Abstract excerpt
Mus dunni endogenous virus (MDEV) can be activated from M. dunni cells by exposing the cells to hydrocortisone or 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine. Interference analysis has revealed that MDEV uses a receptor for cell entry that is different from those used by other murine retroviruses. The entire genome h...
