Abstract
Embryo DNA of AKR mice contains several copies of intact mink cell focus-forming (MCF)-like env gene sequences with a proviral structure. In spontaneous thymic tumours, these MCF-like env sequences have regularly recombined with a specific region of the 3′ end of ecotropic env. This specific recombination is probably a critical event in the pathogenesis of spontaneous AKR tumours.
