RESUMO
Endogenous cellular genetic information related to the avian leukosis virus gene encoding RNA-directed DNA polymerase was studied, using a marker rescue assay to detect biological activity of subgenomic fragments of virus-related DNAs of uninfected avian cells. Recipient cultures of chicken embryo fibroblasts were treated with sonicated DNA fragments and were infected with a temperature-sensitive mutant of Rous sarcoma virus that encoded a thermolabile DNA polymerase. Wild-type progeny viruses were isolated by marker rescue with fragments of DNA of uninfected chicken, pheasant, quail, and turkey cells. The DNAs of these uninfected avian cells, therefore, appeared to contain endogenous genetic information related to the avian leukosis virus DNA polymerase gene.
