ABSTRACTExpression of mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV)-encoded superantigens in B lymphocytes is required for viral transmission and pathogenesis. We have previously established a critical role of an enhancer element within the long terminal repeat (LTR) for MMTVsaggene expression in B-lymphoid progenitor cells. We now demonstrate enhancer activity of this element in a promyelocytic progenitor cell line. We also map the position of the enhancer within the U3 region of the MMTV LTR and show that the progenitor cell enhancer shares functional elements with a previously described mammary gland-specific enhancer. |
