Transfection of mouse bone marrow cells with Rauscher virus proviral DNA

article
Mouse bone marrow cells were transfected with DNA isolated from Rauscher virus induced leukemic spleen cells. Successful transfection was manifested by virus production and transformation. Virus production by the transfected bone marrow cells was shown by the XC test. Injection of transfected cells into syngeneic hosts led to the development of erythroblastosis, probably due to the spread of virus reproduced by infectious proviral DNA. The transforming potential of the infectious viral DNA was demonstrated by the formation of erythroid colonies in vitro without the addition of erythropoietin to the culture medium.
