Abstract
The lymphoproliferative disease virus of turkeys was molecularly cloned, structurally mapped, and shown to represent a distinct class of retroviruses evolutionarily related to the avian leukemia-sarcoma virus group. The cloned provirus did not contain any known oncogene or other cellularly derived sequences and was established as a replication-competent oncogenic entity capable of inducing the disease in the absence of any associated transforming counterpart.
