Abstract
We extended the physical map of the mouse int-2 locus by demonstrating that the site of insertion for mouse mammary tumor virus DNA in plaque-type mammary tumors of GR mice is directly linked to int-2. An additional example of proviral integration is described in which a provirus in a presumed enhancer-insertion mode 15 kilobases upstream of the int-2 promoters is capable of activating expression of the gene at levels typical of other virally induced mammary tumors.
