Two translocationcarrying stocks of mice, T(7; I5)9H and Rb(4;lS) were resistant to chemical leukemogenesis by 7,1Z-dimethylbenz(a)-anthracene (DMBA) or methylnitroso-Nurea (MNU). Lymphomas were induced in F, hybrids derived from crossing these two stocks with various susceptible strains. In T-cell

Abstract
Trisomy of chromosome 15 is a highly regular feature of murine T‐cell leukemogenesis. We have studied the chromosomal constitution of 7,12‐dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA)‐induced T‐cell leukemias in C57BL × CBAT6T6 F, mice. The CBAT6T6‐derived chromosome 1(14:15)6 was regularly duplicated whereas the C57BL‐derived normal chromosome 15 was only present in one copy. It was concluded that the gene(s) that tend to duplicate in parallel with the neoplastic transformation of the prothymocyte to an overt leukemie cell have a greater chance of duplicating and/or may have a stronger promoting effect on leukemogenesis if located on the CBA‐derived, structurally rearranged T(14:15)6 than the corresponding genes located on the C57BL‐derived normal chromosome 15.

Provirus insertion near the c-myc, p i m l or Mlvi-l genes occurred in 7 out of 59 virally induced T-cell leukemias. C-myc was exclusively rearranged in approximately 10% of MCF247-induced tumors while Mlvi-l was rearranged to a similar frequency in Moloney-virus-induced lymphomas. Out of 25 karyoty
