Abstract excerpt
We have previously reported that the non-transforming jun D (wild type) gene can acquire transforming activity through spontaneous mutations when it is replicated through avian replication-competent retrovirus vectors in chicken embryo fibroblasts. In two of these spontaneous mutants, T1 and T2, which were isolated from proviral DNA in the same transformed cell clone, a specific 48 bp polynucleotide segment of...
