title: Leukemogenesis by Moloney murine leukemia virus: a multistep process.
abstract: Moloney murine leukemia virus is a prototypical simple retrovirus that has been an extremely useful model for leukemogenesis. Important steps in leukemogenesis include proviral activation of cellular proto-oncogenes, generation of mink cell focus-inducing recombinants, and early (preleukemic) virus-induced changes in hematopoiesis.
