Characterization of a unique retroviral recombinant containing 7S L sequences
Abstract
Using a recently described system to generate recombinants between avian leukosis viruses (ALV) and cellular neo mRNA (A.M. Hajjar and M.L. Linial, J. Virol. 67:3845-3853, 1993), we isolated a recombinant containing 7S L sequences. Analysis of this recombinant revealed that it most likely arose during reverse transcription of three copackaged RNAs: 7S L RNA, neo RNA, and ALV genomic RNA. Reverse transcription appears to have initiated on the 7S L RNA. A model for the generation of this recombinant is described.
