چکیده
We have examined EcoRI-restricted cellular DNA from mouse-hamster somatic cell hybrids. Results of this analysis show that the unit II mouse mammary tumor virus proviral genome is located on mouse chromosome 6. Restriction analysis of cellular DNA from (C3H/OuJ X Czech II) X Czech II backcross mice showed a strong linkage between unit II and Igk. The gene order of these markers on chromosome 6 relative to the Raf and Kirsten murine sarcoma virus ras-2 proto-oncogenes was established.

Nonrandom distribution of MMTV proviral sequences in the mouse genome.
Integrated sequences of mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) have been localized in the genomes of five inbred mouse strains (Balb/c, C3H, DBA/2, A.TH, 129-SV) and one mammary tumor cell line (GR). Two major classes of MMTV sequences have been detected in mouse DNA fractions as obtained by Cs2SO4/BAMD (3,6-bis-(acetatomercurimethyl)dioxane) density gradient centrifugation. The first one corresponds...
متن کاملA new common integration region (int-3) for mouse mammary tumor virus on mouse chromosome 17.
Mus musculus subsp. musculus (Czech II) mammary tumor DNA frequently contains an integrated proviral genome of the mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) within a specific 0.5-kilobase-pair region of the cellular genome (designated int-3). Viral integration at this site results in activation of expression of an adjacent cellular gene. We mapped int-3 to mouse chromosome 17 by analysis of PstI-restric...
متن کاملSusceptibility to tumors induced by polyoma virus is conferred by an endogenous mouse mammary tumor virus superantigen
A dominant gene carried in certain inbred mouse strains confers susceptibility to tumors induced by polyoma virus. This gene, designated Pyvs, was defined in crosses between the highly susceptible C3H/BiDa strain and the highly resistant but H-2k-identical C57BR/cdJ strain. The resistance of C57BR/cdJ mice is overcome by irradiation, indicating an immunological basis. In F1 x C57BR/cdJ backcros...
متن کاملCharacterization, chromosome assignment, and segregation analysis of endogenous proviral units of mouse mammary tumor virus.
In the course of analyzing sites of proviral integration in tumors induced by mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV), we have isolated recombinant DNA clones corresponding to the 5' and 3' ends of four endogenous MMTV proviruses present in BALB/c and BR6 mice. This has permitted the structural characterization of each locus by detailed restriction mapping and the preparation of DNA probes specific fo...
متن کاملEndogenous Mouse Mammary Tumor Viruses (Mtv): New Roles for an Old Virus in Cancer, Infection, and Immunity
Mouse Mammary Tumor Viruses are beta-retroviruses that exist in both exogenous (MMTV) and endogenous (Mtv) forms. Exogenous MMTV is transmitted via the milk of lactating animals and is capable of inducing mammary gland tumors later in life. MMTV has provided a number of critical models for studying both viral infection as well as human breast cancer. In addition to the horizontally transmitted ...
