Specific probes were prepared for unique-sequence cellular DNA adjacent to each of the newly integrated proviruses in tumors induced by mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV). The use of such probes to screen a large number of independent mammary tumors in the BR6 strain of mouse has indicated that in at least 17 of the 40 tumors examined so far, an MMTV provirus has integrated into a common chromosomal domain. A 10 kilobage (kb) EcoRI fragment of single copy DNA from this region was isolated and partially characterized by restriction enzyme mapping. Of the proviruses located within this fragment in different tumors, all but one are complete, in the same orientation, and clustered within .apprx. 3 kb of cellular DNA. These findings are consistent with an insertional mutagenesis model for tumorigenesis by MMTV, in which the integration of a provirus in a particular region of cellular DNA may activate a neighboring oncogene. The region described here appears to be different from that reported for mammary tumors in the C3H strain of mouse.
