Abstract
SMX-1 virus delays the appearance of spontaneous thymomas in AKR mice which have been inoculated as young adults by the intrathymic route. Analyses of high-molecular-weight thymus DNAs from SMX-1 virus-inoculated AKR mice indicated the absence of 3' recombinant proviral-cellular DNA junction fragments generated by EcoRI and PvuII digestion. An average of five recombinant proviral fragments were detected in DNAs from spontaneous thymomas that developed in medium-injected control mice. Preleukemic mice that amplify murine leukemia virus-related antigens on their thymocyte surface contained unintegrated proviruses in their thymus DNAs, and 2.3-kilobase EcoRI and 2.1-kilobase PvuII recombinant DNA fragments were detected.Entities:
