Evolution of Primate Type-C Viral Genes

  • Chapter
Fundamental Aspects of Neoplasia

Abstract

The spontaneous appearance of complete, infectious type-C viruses in the animals of certain mammalian species and in cultured cells derived from these animals led to the hypothesis that the information for the production of such viruses might be transmitted genetically from parent to progeny along with the other cellular genes (15,33). DNA sequences (type-C virogenes) homologous to the RNA genomes of known type-C viruses have been detected in the somatic cell DNA of normal tissues from chickens (2) and from a variety of mammalian species (reviewed in ref. 18) and, when fully expressed, can lead to the production of complete, infectious virus particles.
