Abstract

By the use of recombinant DNA technology and microinjection in cultured cells, the molecular genetic elements involved in the evolution of a retrovirus with the multipotential to infect, transform and replicate in host cell, have been critically examined in this investigation.

WR-RaLV: wild rat leukemia virus, RHHV: rat hepatoma helper virus, HTC-H1: hepatoma tissue culture cell, line H1, LTR: long terminal repeat polynucleotide sequence, Src: sarcomagenic DNA sequence, K-NRK: Kirsten sarcoma virus transformed non-producer, FCS: fetal calf serum, kb: kilobase, bp: base pair, KSV(RHHV): Kirsten sarcoma virus rat hepatoma helper virus pseudotype, TEN: Tris-HCl, 0.01 M, pH 7.5, EDTA, 0.001 M, NaCl, 0.15 M.
