An altered v-raf is required in addition to v-myc in J3V1 virus for acceleration of murine plasmacytomagenesis.

ABSTRACT: We have isolated and molecularly cloned a highly pathogenic virus variant, J3V1, from murine plasmacytomas induced by a combination of pristane and the weakly transforming recombinant retrovirus J3. J3 virus is a derivative of the v-raf/v-myc-carrying J2 virus that was generated by a frameshifting deletion inactivating v-raf in J2. J3V1 contains an additional deletion of 334 base paris in gag, which restores the correct reading frame for v-raf and results in the expression of a p57 gag-raf fusion protein. Reactivation of v-raf in J3 is required for efficient plasmacytoma acceleration in pristane-conditioned BALB/cAn mice.
