PMCID: PMC345471  PMID: 6326114

Abstract

A cellular transforming gene detected by transfection of mouse T-cell lymphoma DNA has been isolated by molecular cloning. This gene (designated Tlym-I) is homologous to a small conserved family of sequences present in normal mouse and human DNAs but is not related to any of the previously described viral or cellular transforming genes.
