RESUMO
A congenic mouse strain (NFS.C) carrying the albino region of chromosome 7 from strain C58/Lw on an ecotropic virus-negative NFS background inherited a noninducible but apparently full-size provirus reactive with an ecotropic virus-specific probe. This unexpressed ecotropic provirus maps close to the albino locus but is distinct from the Fgv-1 provirus located in the same region. The presence of this unique provirus in the albino region of chromosome 7 is potentially important, since it may provide a means of obtaining molecular clones of a chromosomal region, deletions of which are involved in profound metabolic, reproductive, and embryological abnormalities.
