Identifies ev 2 as RAV-0 locus in chickens; leaves open extension to other retroviral models or species.
The ev 2 genetic locus codes for the Rous-associated virus type 0 produced by line 72 chickens.
Astrin et al. (1980) studied Endogenous viral loci in chickens. ev 2 genetic locus vs. V-E7- phenotype was evaluated on Presence of ev 2 and production of RAV-0 virus. The ev 2 genetic locus was present exclusively in progeny of the V-E7+ phenotype, indicating that ev 2 codes for the Rous-associated virus type 0 produced by line 72 chickens.
