Leukemic Transformation with Avian Myeloblastosis Virus: Present Status

  • Chapter
Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology / Ergebnisse der Mikrobiologie und Immunitätsforschung

Abstract

Many RNA and DNA tumor viruses induce neoplastic transformation in vitro, but few of these are leukemia viruses acting on hematopoietic target cells. The virus of avian myeloblastosis (AMV) is such an agent, capable of producing morphological changes in hematopoietic tissues grown in vitro, and thus provides an excellent model to study leukemia induction at the cellular level.

This work was supported by the Veterans Administration (MRIS 5855), by the Anna Fuller Fund, and by Grant CA-10697 of the National Cancer Institute.
