Oncogenesis by Marek's disease herpesvirus in chickens lacking expression of endogenous (gs, chick helper factor, Rous-associated virus-O) and exogenous avian RNA tumor viruses. 1975

Chickens free of exogenous avian leukosis virus (ALV) infection, replicating endogenous ALV (Rous-associated virus-O), gs antigen, and chick helper factor were fully susceptible to induction of Marek's disease (MD) by ALV-free MD viruses. Dual infection with Rous-associated virus-2 and MD virus did not significantly alter the character of the MD lesions. Thus exogenous ALV infection was not requisite for MD virus-induced oncogenesis. Although participation of endogenous RNA tumor virus genes in MD lesion induction could not be excluded, expression of such genes in MD tumors as gs antigen was not established.

D008380 Marek Disease A transmissible viral disease of birds caused by avian herpesvirus 2 (HERPESVIRUS 2, GALLID) and other MARDIVIRUS. There is lymphoid cell infiltration or lymphomatous tumor formation in the peripheral nerves and gonads, but may also involve visceral organs, skin, muscle, and the eye.
