Molecular cloning and characterization of mouse mammary tumor proviruses from a T-cell lymphoma

J Virol. 1986 Jan;57(1):385-8. doi: 10.1128/JVI.57.1.385-388.1986.

Abstract

Five mouse mammary tumor virus proviruses and their flanking cellular DNA sequences have been cloned from a transplanted C57BL/6 (B6) T-cell lymphoma containing additional copies of mouse mammary tumor virus DNA. Characterization of these proviruses and their flanking DNA indicates that B6 lymphomas contain many newly integrated mouse mammary tumor virus copies synthesized by a mechanism(s) which generates polymorphism or deletions or both.
