A family of recombinant mink cell focus-forming viruses (MCF) was derived by inoculation of NFS mice with a Friend murine leukemia virus, and their genomes were analyzed by RNase T1-resistant oligonucleotide fingerprinting. The viruses were obtained from the thymuses and spleens of preleukemic and leukemic animals and were evaluated for dualtropism and oncogenicity. All these isolates induced cytopathic foci on mink cells but could be classified into 2 groups based on their relative infectivities for SC-1 (mouse) or mink (ATCC CCL64) cells. One group of Friend MCF (F-MCF) (group I) exhibited approximately equal infectivities for SC-1 and mink cells, whereas a second group (group II) infected mink cells 1000-to 10,000-fold more efficiently than SC-1 cells. Structural analyses of the F-MCF revealed that group I and group II viruses correlated with recombinant of Friend murine leukemia virus with 2 distinct, but closely related, endogenous NFS proviral sequences. No correlation was found between the type of F-MCF and the tissue of origin or the disease state of the animal. None of the F-MCF isolates were found to be oncogenic in NFS/N or AKR/J mice. F-MCF of both groups underwent extensive substitution of ecotropic sequences, involving much of the gag and env genes of group I F-MCF and most of the gag, pol and env genes of group II F-MCF. All F-MCF isolates retained the 3'' terminal U3 region of Friend murine leukemia virus. Comparison of the RNA of the F-MCFs with RNA of MCF derived from NFS.Akv-l or NFS.Akv-2 mice indicated that the F-MCF were derived from NFS proviral sequences which are distinct from the sequences contained in NFS.Akv MCF isolates. This result suggested that recombination with particular endogenous proviral sequences to generate MCF may be highly specific for a given murine leukemia virus.
