Abstract: | The use of chimeric viruses allowed us to establish that myeloblastosis-associated virus long terminal repeat sequences are necessary and sufficient for induction of nephroblastoma in chickens and that the blastemal hyperplasia induced by env SU is not a prerequisite for tumor development but rather constitutes a predisposing stage. |
