[Expression of oncogenes in transplantable tumors and rodent cell lines]

The expression of 8 oncogenes in transplanted rodent tumours and cell lines was tested. In 6 cases the synthesis of myc-, fos-, ras-oncogene RNA was observed. The transcription of these oncogenes was observed nonspecifically in tumours of different histological types. No difference in the set of the oncogenes expressed and the size of their transcripts was noticed between transplanted tumours and the cell lines obtained from them. The expression of myb-, sis-, Blym-, erb-B- and abl-was not observed in tested cells.
