raf/myc-infected erythroid cells are restricted in their ability to terminally differentiate.

RESUMO

A comparison was made of the in vitro erythroid colony-forming abilities of v-raf-, v-myc-, and v-raf/v-myc-containing retroviruses. In methylcellulose, v-raf efficiently produced colonies of well-differentiated hemoglobin-synthesizing erythroid cells, whereas v-raf/v-myc-infected erythroid cells were inhibited from terminally differentiating but retained the ability to replicate extensively. In contrast, v-myc was unable to stimulate the formation of erythroid colonies.
