Abstract
Chicken hematopoietic cells transformed in vitro and in vivo by seven strains of replication-defective avian leukemia viruses were assayed for the expression of six erythroid and five myeloid differentiation parameters, including differentiation-specific surface antigens as detected by newly developed antisera. The transformed cells were found to display three distinct phenotypes of differentiation. First, cells transformed by AEV resemble erythroblasts. They express heme, globin, carbonic anhydrase and erythrocyte cell surface antigen at low levels, and histone H5 and erythroblast cell surface antigen at high levels. Second, cells transformed by MC29, CMII, OK10 and MH2 viruses have macrophage-like properties. They strongly express Fc receptors, phagocytic capacity and macrophage cell surface antigen, but only weakly express myeloblast cell surface antigen and are negative for ATPase activity. Third, cells transformed by AMV and E26 viruses resemble myeloblasts in that they weakly express Fc receptors, phagocytic capacity and macrophage cell surface antigen but strongly express myeloblast cell surface antigen and ATPase activity. No difference was found between in vitro- and in vivo-transformed cells in the parameters tested. In light of recent genetic and biochemical evidence, we believe that these phenotypes reflect the action of three new types of viral-transforming genes, designated erb (erythroblast), mac (macrophage) and myb (myeloblast).

Abstract
Addition of purified major glycoprotein from avian myeloblastosis virus to growing or quiescent chicken embryo fibroblasts rapidly stimulates the rate of hexose transport and increases the lactic acid production. These stimulatory effects are dependent on the time of exposure and the dose of viral glycoprotein. In contrast, the glycoprotein only marginally affects hexose transport in chicken cells transformed by Rous sarcoma virus. Some effects of the glycoprotein on serum-starved quiescent cells were similar to those observed upon re-addition of serum; however, the viral glycoprotein did not stimulate DNA synthesis. Quiescent cells stimulated by saturating levels of serum showed little further stimulation of hexose uptake upon exposure to viral glycoprotein for 3 hr. This behavior suggests that the glycoprotein may be acting on a system that is also a target for serum action.

Abstract
The transplantable MC-29 virus-derived hepatoma is a suitable model for studying the influence of immune status on virus-derived hepatomas in chickens. It was found that both humoral and cellular immunologic reactions have a role in the pathogenesis of virus-derived hepatomas and that virus-derived hepatomas can be influenced by nonspecific immunostimulation. The lymphoid system was profoundly altered in hepatoma-bearing chickens; this cannot be neglected when studying correlations between immune reactions and carcinogenesis. Profound changes were also observed in protein synthesis and the steroid receptor system of hepatoma-bearing chickens compared to healthy birds; this also complicates the understanding of the role of immune mechanisms in carcinogenesis.

Abstract
The disorder of gene expression in hepatomas was studied by following certain metabolic alterations (enzyme stimulation, nucleic acid labeling) after glucocorticoid treatment and analyzing the site of action of glucocorticoids. Compared to normal liver, the MC-29 virus-derived transplantable hepatoma (VTH) responded abnormally to glucocorticoids, which failed to stimulate the activity of certain enzymes (glucose-6-phosphatase, aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase) or to inhibit DNA synthesis. Since the binding capacity of the cytosol steroid receptor was the same in liver and VTH but the interaction between the steroid receptor and DNA was reduced in VTH, it was concluded that structural alterations of chromatin nonhistones--including processed steroid receptor--may be responsible for the lack of physiological responses to steroids in VTH. Furthermore, the increased proportion or repetitive sequences in VTH DNA may be a feature of the disorder of gene regulation in malignant cells.

Abstract
Chicken bone marrow cells were infected with three avian acute leukemia viruses (ALV)--avian myeloblastosis virus (AMV), myelocytomatosis virus strain MC29 and Mill Hill 2 virus (MH2)--and then cultured in agar in the presence of conditioned medium. Under these conditions, it was found that very few cells served as target cells for these three viruses. Density gradient separation showed that ALV target cells were found primarily in the light density fractions and might be represented by cells committed to the mononuclear phagocyte pathway. Separation of bone marrow cells on the basis of their sedimentation velocity at unit gravity suggested that MC29 and AMV did not share the same target cells. In addition, the analysis of surface receptors and functional markers characteristic of macrophages (Fc and complement receptors, phagocytosis and immune phagocytosis) indicated that the ALV-transformed cells were blocked during their differentiation. These results indicate that the transforming ability of ALV interferes with the differentiation of their target cells.

Abstract
Studies were performed to test the applicability of the molecular correlation concept developed in chemically induced transplantable rat hepatomas to virally induced transplantable hepatoma in chicken. In a comparison of the activities of carbohydrate, purine, and pyrimidine key enzymes in rat and chicken hepatomas, similar patterns were observed in rodent and avian tumors. These results show that the enzymatic imbalance elucidated in chemically induced rat hepatomas is applicable to the virus-induced hepatoma in chicken, independent of the nature of the carcinogenic agent and the species.

Abstract
The macroscopic, light microscopic and electron microscopic features and biological properties of MC-29 virus-induced hepatocellular carcinomas in chickens are described. The tumors developed in noncirrhotic livers within a very short time and formed metastases. Virus production was also evidenced in the tumors. There were also indications of virus production in the transplantable tumors. The tumors grew equally well after sc, ip, or im inoculation. In about 25% of the tumor-bearing animals, tumorous nodules developed in the liver. It could not be established whether they were metastases or primary liver cancers induced by viruses released from the transplantable tumors.

Abstract
Cells transformed by avian erythroblastosis virus were grown in vitro for up to 5 months. After a few days in culture, synthesis of hemoglobin was undetectable and could not be induced by dimethyl sulfoxide. As shown by globin cDNA hybridization to nuclear and cytoplasmic RNA carried to Crot values of 10(5) moles of nucleotide per liter X sec, globin genes in these cells are transcribed into pre-mRNA, but no trace of globin mRNA appears in the cytoplasm. The implications of this observation for schemes of post-transcriptional regulations and viral transformation are discussed.

Abstract
The RNA of myelocytoma virus MC29, a replication-defective avian acute leukemia virus, was investigated. Sedimentation and electrophoretic analyses indicated that the virus contains a distinct 28S RNA with about 5700 nucleotides. It is the smallest avian tumor virus RNA detected to date. The small size of the RNA suggests that the defectiveness of the virus is due to deletions in replicative genes. The RNA shared 3 to 5 of 30 large RNase T1-resistant oligonucleotides with the RNA of other avian leukosis and sarcoma and may represent the transforming information of the virus. Sequences of the conserved transforming gene of avian sarcoma viruses were not detected in MC29 RNA. It was concluded that the transforming sequences of MC29 RNA define a new class of avian tumor viral transforming genes.

Abstract
Chicks infected as 12-day-old embryos with an end-point purified derivative of avian myeloblastosis virus developed a rapidly progressive osteopetrosis that manifested within 1 week of hatching. A detailed comparison of osteopetrotic chicks and normal hatchmates revealed the following. (i) Osteopetrotic chicks exhibited a stunting syndrome, growing at a mean rate that was 26% of the control rats. (ii) At autopsy, the mass of the lymphoid organs was reduced, whereas the mass of the heart, pancreas, kidneys, lungs, brain, liver, and bones of osteopetrotic chicks was increased. Edema was likely responsible for most of the increase in organ weight. (iii) Infected chicks exhibited a normochromic, normocytic anemia that was virus dose dependent and was not required for the development of osteopetrosis. (iv) Bone collagen content was normal. (v) Osteopetrotic bone was initially hypomineralized, but later became more fully mineralized. (vi) The concentrations of alpha, beta, and gamma globulins in the plasma were elevated in osteopetrotic chicks, whereas albumin concentration was decreased. (vii) The level of plasma alkaline phosphatase was elevated in osteopetrotic chicks, yet the level of acid phosphatase was unchanged. (viii) Body and bone temperatures were unchanged.

Abstract
A study, using the Rhode Island Red (RIR) strain of fowl maintained at Houghton Poultry Research Station, was made to investigate the genetic control of cellular response to infection with viruses of subgroups A and C. Family matings within the RIR strain and test-crosses between the RIR parents and White Leghorn (WL) parents of known ararcrcr genotype were set up to ascertain linkage between the tumour virus a (tva) and tumour virus c (tvc) loci. The results confirmed that in this RIR strain, the two loci, tva and tvc, control the cellular response to viruses of subgroups A and C, respectively, as reported in other breeds of fowl (WL and New Hampshire). As in WL fowl, the two loci are linked. The linkage value of 0-22 in the male sex agreed well with that reported in the WL male sex, indicating that the two loci are located in the same sites in homologous chromosomes in the two breeds. However, in the RIR strain, no sex difference in crossing over between the two linked loci was found, contrary to that reported in WL fowl where the absence of crossing over between the two loci was observed in the heterogametic female sex.

Abstract
Virion RNA from the avian leukosis virus Rous-associated virus 2 (RAV-2) and poly(A)-containing RNAs from RAV-2-infected chick embryo fibroblasts were microinjected into fibroblasts transformed by the Bryan high-titer strain of Rous sarcoma virus (RSV), which is deficient in viral envelope glycoprotein. Production of infectious RSV following these injections depended upon the viral envelope-messenger activity of the injected RNA. This system constituted a sensitive and rigorous assay system for viral envelope-messenger RNA. It was found that 21S mRNA from RAV-2-infected cells expressed the highest activity, while 35S mRNA expressed comparatively little. In addition, RAV-2-virion RNA expressed little messenger activity. The rate of formation of infectious RSV following 21S mRNA injections reached a peak near 9 hr, which was followed by a rapid decline. Evidence has been obtained that a small fraction of both 35S virion RNA and 35S mRNA from virus-infected cells was encapsulated into virus particles following their injection into virus-producing cells.
