Abstract

We have optimized the conditions for efficient NIH3T3 focus formation by calcium phosphate transfection of proviral Abelson-murine leukemia virus (A-MuLV) plasmid DNA. Linearized pA-MuLV, P120 or P160 strains, when transfected with calf thymus carrier DNA, will produce 40-50 foci/100 ng pA-MuLV without cotransfecting Moloney-murine leukemia virus (MoMuLV) plasmid DNA.
