ABSTRACT Mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV)-based vectors are characterized by low titers. In an effort to transfer MMTV-specific regulation of gene expression to a more efficient murine leukemia virus (MLV) vector, we have replaced the complete 3′ U3 region of MLV with the complete U3 region of MMTV. Virus titers were not significantly affected by this modification, there was no impairment of reverse transcription and integration, and after infection of cells, the MMTV promoter is duplicated and translocated to the 5′ long terminal repeat, resulting in glucocorticoid-regulatable RNA expression.

Morphological, biological, and immunological studies indicate a possible interrelationship between mouse mammary tumor virus and leukemia virus in the development of mouse mammary tumors. Electron microscope studies have shown the presence of both mouse mammary tumor virus (type B) particles and mouse leukemia virus (type C) particles in mouse milk, in tissues, and in tissue cultures from spontaneous and induced mouse mammary tumors (Dmochowski, L., et; al.: Carcinogenesis, A Broad Critique, Williams and Wilkins Co., Baltimore, p.211, 1967;., Dmochowski, L., et al.: J.Nat. Cancer Inst., 40:1339, 1968).
