  • Title: Abelson virus drives the differentiation of Harvey virus-infected erythroid cells.
    Author: Waneck GL, Keyes L, Rosenberg N.
    Journal: Cell; 1986 Jan 31; 44(2):337-44. PubMed ID: 3002634.
    Abstract:
    Abelson murine leukemia virus (A-MuLV) and Harvey murine sarcoma virus (Ha-MSV) are retroviruses carrying unrelated onc genes. However, both of these viruses are capable of stimulating the growth and differentiation of erythroid precursor cells; the target cells for both appear at the same time during fetal development and follow a similar pattern throughout ontogeny. In addition, the colonies induced by each virus are morphologically similar and synthesize the adult form of hemoglobin. However, A-MuLV-infected cells are Epo-independent, whereas Ha-MSV-infected cells are Epo-dependent. Superinfection of Ha-MSV-infected cells with A-MuLV overrides their Epo-dependency. Thus, the consequences of the infection are determined by the interaction of the different onc gene products with identical or similar erythroid cells.
