Eukaryotic gene regulation studies with mouse mammary tumor virus in tissue culture cells. 1978

W P Parks, and H A Young, and E M Scolnick

The transcriptional regulation of mouse mammary tumor virus has been investigated in cell culture systems. These systems offer several insights into mechanisms of gene control including tenfold stimulation by glucocorticoids and spontaneous alterations in levels of constitutive transcription.
