Oncogenes of fibrosarcomas of rats, induced by subcutaneous injection of 1,8-dinitropyrene (1,8-DNP), were examined by NIH 3T3 cell transfection assay and Southern blot analysis. Transformants containing rat specific repetitive sequences were obtained with DNAs of 4 fibrosarcomas, 1,8-DNP1, 1,8-DNP2, 1,8-DNP3 and 1,8-DNP7. A transformant, 1,8-DNP2-2, induced by DNA of a fibrosarcoma, 1,8-DNP2, and 7 secondary transformants derived from it contained rat K-ras sequences. Another transformant, 1,8-DNP2-1, induced by the same sarcoma did not have a ras family oncogene. This indicates that the sarcoma, 1,8-DNP2, has at least 2 transforming genes. The transforming genes of 6 other transformants derived from 3 sarcomas did not contain ras family or neu transforming genes.

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.

D009857 Oncogenes Genes whose gain-of-function alterations lead to NEOPLASTIC CELL TRANSFORMATION. They include, for example, genes for activators or stimulators of CELL PROLIFERATION such as growth factors, growth factor receptors, protein kinases, signal transducers, nuclear phosphoproteins, and transcription factors. A prefix of "v-" before oncogene symbols indicates oncogenes captured and transmitted by RETROVIRUSES; the prefix "c-" before the gene symbol of an oncogene indicates it is the cellular homolog (PROTO-ONCOGENES) of a v-oncogene.

D012091 Repetitive Sequences, Nucleic Acid Sequences of DNA or RNA that occur in multiple copies. There are several types: INTERSPERSED REPETITIVE SEQUENCES are copies of transposable elements (DNA TRANSPOSABLE ELEMENTS or RETROELEMENTS) dispersed throughout the genome. TERMINAL REPEAT SEQUENCES flank both ends of another sequence, for example, the long terminal repeats (LTRs) on RETROVIRUSES. Variations may be direct repeats, those occurring in the same direction, or inverted repeats, those opposite to each other in direction. TANDEM REPEAT SEQUENCES are copies which lie adjacent to each other, direct or inverted (INVERTED REPEAT SEQUENCES).
