چکیده

Avian leukosis virus (ALV)-induced osteopetrosis is associated with the accumulation of unintegrated viral DNA in osteoblasts. Viruses constructed from the DNAs of an osteopetrosis-inducing ALV (Br21) and a non-osteopetrosis-inducing ALV (RAV-0) have been used to test for the role of viral genes in the induction of osteopetrosis. Our results map osteopetrotic potential to a 1,400-base-pair region near the 5' long terminal repeat. This region contains signals for the splicing, translation, and packaging of viral RNAs and coding sequences for the gag proteins p19 and p10 and the N terminus of p27.

Sequences near the 5' Long Terminal Repeat of Avian Leukosis

Avian leukosis virus (ALV)-induced osteopetrosis is associated with the accumulation of unintegrated viral DNA in osteoblasts. Viruses constructed from the DNAs of an osteopetrosis-inducing ALV (Br2l) and a non-osteopetrosis-inducing ALV (RAV-0) have been used to test for the role of viral genes in the induction of osteopetrosis. Our results map osteopetrotic potential to a 1,400-base-pair regi...

Long terminal repeat (LTR) sequences, env, and a region near the 5' LTR influence the pathogenic potential of recombinants between Rous-associated virus types 0 and 1.

A series of recombinants between Rous-associated virus type 0 (RAV-0), RAV-1, and a replication-competent avian leukosis virus vector (RCAN) have been tested for disease potential in day-old inoculated K28 chicks. RAV-0 is a benign virus, whereas RAV-1 and RCAN induce lymphoma and a low incidence of a variety of other neoplasms. The results of the oncogenicity tests indicate that (i) the long t...

Forensic investigation of a 1986 outbreak of osteopetrosis in commercial brown layers reveals a novel avian leukosis virus-related genome.

Avian leukosis virus (ALV) is known to cause several neoplastic conditions in chickens, such as B-cell lymphomas, myelocytomas, erythroblastosis, and other types of neoplasia including osteopetrosis. We describe herein the identification of unique ALV-related proviral DNA sequences in an archived chicken bone affected with osteopetrosis. The osteopetrotic bone was obtained from an affected 46-w...

Importance of 3' non-coding sequences for efficient retrovirus-mediated gene transfer in avian cells revealed by self-inactivating vectors.

Avian leukosis virus-derived vectors were constructed with an internal transcriptional promoter and various 3' non-coding sequences. Deletions were introduced into the downstream U3 long terminal repeat (LTR) to obtain self-inactivation of LTR-mediated transcription after one round of replication. However, 3' non-coding sequences appeared to determine not only self-inactivation of the vectors b...

The oncogenic effects of nontransforming viruses from avian myeloblastosis virus.

Standard avian myeloblastosis virus (AMV), BAI strain A, causes myeloblastosis, osteopetrosis, lymphoid leukosis, and nephroblastoma in chickens. In this investigation, several leu kosis viruses of subgroups A and B were isolated (rom standard AMV and characterized. A subgroup A virus derived from an AMV-induced lymphoma of a Japanese quail was isolated, and it induced a high incidence of osteo...
