We have studied the nucleic acid sequences in nonproducer cells transformed by Moloney sarcoma virus or Abelson leukemia virus (two types of replication-defective, RNA-containing, viruses isolated by passage of Moloney leukemia virus in BALB/c mice). DNA probes from the Moloney leukemia in virus detect RNA in both Abelson virus-transformed nonproducer cells and Moloney sarcoma virus-transformed nonproducer cells. A sarcoma-specific cDNA, prepared from the Moloney sarcoma virus, has extensive homology to RNA found in heterologous nonproducer cells transformed by Moloney sarcoma virus, has little homology to RNA in cells producing Moloney leukemia virus, and no detectable homology to RNA in nonproducer cells transformed by the Abelson virus. By analogy to earlier data on avian and mammalian sarcoma viruses, these results suggest that the Moloney sarcoma virus arose by recombination between a portion of the Moloney leukemia virus genome and additional sarcoma-specific information, and indicate that the expression of this information in not essential for Abelson virus-mediated fibroblast transformation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008979 Moloney murine leukemia virus A strain of Murine leukemia virus (LEUKEMIA VIRUS, MURINE) arising during the propagation of S37 mouse sarcoma, and causing lymphoid leukemia in mice. It also infects rats and newborn hamsters. It is apparently transmitted to embryos in utero and to newborns through mother's milk. Moloney Leukemia Virus,Leukemia Virus, Moloney,Virus, Moloney Leukemia
D009052 Leukemia Virus, Murine Species of GAMMARETROVIRUS, containing many well-defined strains, producing leukemia in mice. Disease is commonly induced by injecting filtrates of propagable tumors into newborn mice. Graffi Virus,Graffi's Chloroleukemic Strain,Leukemia Viruses, Murine,Mouse Leukemia Viruses,Murine Leukemia Virus,Murine Leukemia Viruses,Graffi Chloroleukemic Strain,Graffis Chloroleukemic Strain,Leukemia Viruses, Mouse
D009053 Sarcoma Viruses, Murine A group of replication-defective viruses, in the genus GAMMARETROVIRUS, which are capable of transforming cells, but which replicate and produce tumors only in the presence of Murine leukemia viruses (LEUKEMIA VIRUS, MURINE).

D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.
