The avian oncoviruses can be divided into two distinct categories:(1) endogenous viruses that are spontaneously expressed or can be induced from normal uninfected chicken cells (for review, see Robinson 1978), and (2) exogenous viruses originally isolated from spontaneously arising chicken neoplasms. Table 1 shows the genetic constitution of RAV-0, a typical nondefective endogenous virus of chickens, and a representative of the three major types of exogenous virus: PRB RSV, a nondefective transforming virus; tdPRB-RSV, a transformation-defective (td) mutant of PRB RSV that is biologically identical to lymphoid leukosis virus (although it may have an additional sequence between env and C); and MC29, a defective acute leukemia virus.RAV-0 has been extensively studied in this laboratory and elsewhere (Coffin et al. 1978; Neiman et al. 1977) by comparison of its 70S genomic RNA with that of nondefective sarcoma virus. The two genomes are almost identical in the 5'half (gag and pol genes). The env genes have diverged significantly by accumulated base changes. A sequence between env and src and the src-gene sequence are not detectable in the genome of RAV-0. Finally, the regions adjacent to the poly (A) at the 3'end of the two viral genomes are unrelated. This region of RAV-0 is almost identical to that of all endogenous viruses so far studied (P. Tsichlis et al., unpubl.) and very different from that of all the exogenous viruses, which are also closely related to one
