Abstract
Feline leukaemia virus (FeLV) is the aetiological agent of a wide range of neoplastic and degenerative conditions [1]. The predominant, naturally occurring, FeLV-induced tumours are T-cell lymphomas, and recently some of the viral events in their pathogenesis have been elucidated. Both transduction and insertional mutagenesis of the myc gene are frequent concomitants of T-cell transformation by FeLV. In addition, a possible role for the T-cell antigen receptor gene in leukaemogenesis has been revealed with the discovery of an FeLV-mediated transduction of the β-chain of the T-cell antigen receptor [2, 3].
