title: Gamma interferon regulates long terminal repeat-controlled oncogene expression in transformed mouse fibroblasts at the level of mRNA transcription.
abstract: In transformed NIH 3T3 cells, murine gamma interferon reduces the expression of the long terminal repeat-controlled oncogenes v-mos, c-myc, and v-Ha-ras by a direct effect on the activity of retroviral promoters, as revealed by analyses of RNA half-life and transcriptional activity of retroviral genes as well as by analyses of chloramphenicol acetyltransferase activity in cells transformed with the cat gene under the control of long terminal repeats.
