Abstract

The expression of the mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) in hormone‐induced mammary tumors was investigated by means of a radioimmunoassay for two major MMTV proteins, gp52 and p27. MMTV proteins were isolated on lectin affinity‐ and ion‐exchange chromatography columns. The purified viral proteins were electrophoretically homogeneous and retained immunoreactivity after labelling with ^125^iodine. Standard competition assays showed that group‐specific antigenic determinants were reacting. Mammary tumors were induced in three strains of mice with a low natural incidence of mammary tumors, C57BL, 020 and C3Hf, by a combined hormone treatment, consisting of hypophyseal isografts and administration of progesterone and estrone. Mammary tumors and mammary glands of hormone‐treated animals were extracted and used for competition radioimmunoassays. In general, the tumorigenic hormone treatment resulted in enhanced amounts of MMTV proteins in the mammary glands, compared to the amounts found in lactating mammary glands of untreated animals. The levels of MMTV proteins in the mammary tumors were lower than in the mammary glands.

The mouse mammary tumor virus enters mammary epithelial cells via a plasma membrane protein that binds to a viral envelope glycoprotein, gp52. In intact cells, this gp52 receptor can be phosphorylated by activators of protein kinase A and protein kinase C (PKC), but this modification does not occur
