  • Title: A new locus (Mtv-4) for endogenous mammary tumor virus expression and early mammary tumor development in the SHN mouse strain.
    Author: Imai S, Tsubura Y, Hilgers J, Michalides R.
    Journal: J Natl Cancer Inst; 1983 Sep; 71(3):517-21. PubMed ID: 6310199.
    Abstract:
    The SHN mouse strain, which has a high incidence of mammary cancer, developed by inbreeding and selection from Swiss stock mice by Dr. H. Nagasawa and co-workers (Meiji University, Tokyo, Japan), harbored an endogenous mammary tumor virus (MTV) responsible for a high frequency of mammary tumors early in life. The locus was called "Mtv-4" and was only comparable with Mtv-2 of the GR mouse strain in its inducing capacity of mammary cancer. Molecular hybridization with 32P-labeled MTV complementary DNA showed that the characteristic Mtv-2 bands of the GR strain were absent in the SHN strain.
