Decreased virus population diversity in p53-null mice infected with weakly oncogenic Abelson virus.
The Abelson murine leukemia virus (Ab-MLV), like other retroviruses that contain v-onc genes, arose following a recombination event between a replicating retrovirus and a cellular oncogene. Although experimentally validated models have been presented to address the mechanism by which oncogene capture occurs, very little is known about the events that influence emerging viruses following the rec...
متن کاملThe history and principles of retroviral vectors.
Retrovirus-derived gene transfer systems (retroviral vectors) are the most commonly used gene transfer tools in modern biology. They have been used to study various aspects of retroviral replication, the organization and function of oncogenes and other eucaryotic genes, and, recently, to transduce therapeutic genes to cure inborn errors of metabolism, cancer, AIDS, and many other diseases in ma...
متن کاملReasons for Creation of Important and Sacred Numbers and Their Reflections in Architectural and Urban Spaces
This research was an attempt to study reasons for creation of some of the important and sacred numbers and their reflection in architectural and urban spaces. This subject matter is important because significant and sacred numbers were used in design and construction of a number of historical spaces. The research objective was to discover some of the reasons for formation of important and sacre...
متن کاملRetroviruses as etiologic agents of some animal and human leukemias and lymphomas and as tools for elucidating the molecular mechanism of leukemogenesis.
I T HAS LONG BEEN KNOWN that retroviruses (RNA tumor viruses, type-C viruses, oncornaviruses, leukemia viruses) can induce a variety of neoplasias (leukemias and lymphomas, sarcomas, and occasionally carcinomas) in animals, and they have been identified as the prime factor in the pathogenesis of many naturally occurring leukemias and lymphomas in several animal species. Although there are recen...
متن کاملRadiation-induced murine leukemias and endogenous retroviruses: the time course of viral expression.
Ionizing radiation is weIl known to be a potent inducer of leukemias in animals and man (for review see UNSCEAR report 19). The mouse has been most frequently chosen to elucidate the factors and mechanisms necessary for leukemia development by irradiation. In the mouse the association of radiation-induced lymphoblastic leukemias with retroviruses has been detected which has led to the concept o...
