The avian myelocytomatosis virus MC29 induces neoplastic diseases in chicken, including myelocytomas and tumors of kidney and liver, which are due to the action of the v-myc gene. MC29 has never been reported to cause lymphoid tumors, the disease associated with activation of the c-myc gene by the insertion of a lymphoid leukosis virus genome. A recovered MC29 virus, HBl, which has a myc gene containing c-myc sequences, acquired by recombination with the cellular gene, and some v-myc sequences was analyzed. Inoculation of HBl into chickens resulted in lymphoid tumors independent of the bursa. Antigenically these tumors were made up of T and B cells. Molecular analysis showed HBl proviral DNA in 36 of 39 tumors analyzed, with no obvious alteration of c-myc, and the HBl gag-myc fusion protein, p108, could be detected in tumor cells. These data are discussed in terms of the mechanism of target-cell specificity for transformation by the myc gene.
