The DNA from 17 bovine lymphoid tumors induced by bovine leukemia virus (BLV) was digested with the restriction endonuclease EcoRI. Filter hybridization analysis using radioactive probes specific for the BLV genome showed that all tumors contained at least 1 or a portion of 1 provirus. Digestion of these proviruses with Sac I demonstrated that deletions occurred in .apprx. 25% of the cases and involved sequences located in the 5'' half of the provirus. No sequence homology was observed between the cloned proximate cellular sequences flanking 2 different proviruses at their 3'' end and the corresponding sequences in 16 other tumor DNA, thus showing that a wide range of genomic sites could accommodate BLV proviruses. Transcription of viral DNA including long terminal repeated sequences was not detected, suggesting that viral gene expression is not required for maintenance of the tumor state. No expression of 3''-proximate cellular sequences was observed, indicating that no proximate downstream promotion took place in the cases examined.
