Induction of Deoxyribonucleic Acid Synthesis and the Oncogenicity of Marek's Disease Virus

Lucy F Lee 1
PMCID: PMC356446  PMID: 5073927

Abstract

Leukocytes recovered from birds inoculated with an oncogenic strain of Marek's disease virus synthesized deoxyribonucleic acid in vitro at a rate 7.9 times that of leukocytes from normal birds or birds inoculated with the nononcogenic herpesvirus of turkeys. A close relationship was observed between the level of in vitro deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis and in vivo tumor formation.
