| BIS-V + fra-2 | 156 | 130 | 104 | 707 | 238 | - | 267 ± 251 | 0.211 |

Splenic lymphocytes were infected with indicated retroviruses, plated in soft agar, and colonies were scored microscopically after 10 days. The number of colonies (ranging from 53 to 731) from BIS-V infections were normalized to 100 for each experiment. No colonies were observed with control BIS viruses or BIS viruses expressing AP-1 family members alone.
