Abstract

ABSTRACT Type B leukemogenic virus (TBLV) induces rapidly appearing T-cell leukemias. TBLV insertions near the c- myc gene were detectable in 2 of 30 tumors tested, whereas 80% of the tumors showed c- myc overexpression. TBLV insertions on chromosome 15 (including a newly identified locus, Pad7 ) may cause c- myc overexpression by cis -acting effects at a distance.
