Polyomavirus middle T protein encoded by a retrovirus transforms nonestablished chicken embryo cells.

PMCID: PMC252678  PMID: 2999420

Abstract

A murine retrovirus encoding the middle T protein of polyomavirus infected and transformed nonestablished chicken embryo cells. The infected cultures formed colonies in soft agar-containing medium and released infectious transforming virus. Middle T protein expressed in the transformed chicken cells associated with p60c-src and, in immunoprecipitates, enhanced the tyrosine protein kinase activity of p60c-src.
