Abstract
Myeloblastosis-associated virus type 1 (MAV1) derived from a molecular clone of infectious proviral DNA (B. Perbal, J. S. Lipsick, J. Svoboda, R. F. Silva, and M. A. Baluda, J. Virol. 56:240-244, 1985) was shown to specifically induce nephroblastoma in chickens and therefore belongs to the MAV-N class. We show that nephroblastomas are polyclonal tumors containing rearranged proviral genomes. Rearrangements occur preferentially in the gag-pol region of the MAV1 proviral genome, and similar rearrangements can be detected in well-developed independent tumors.Entities:
