| Kirsten sarcoma virus | <virology> A murine sarcoma inducing retrovirus, generated by passaging a murine erythoblastosis virus in newborn rats. Source of the Ki ras oncogene. (18 Nov 1997) |

| avian sarcoma virus | avian leukosis-sarcoma complex |
| Rous sarcoma virus | <virology> The virus responsible for the classic first cell free transmission of a solid tumour, the chicken sarcoma, first reported by Rous in 1911. An avian C type oncorna virus, original source of the src oncogene. (18 Nov 1997) |
| Rous sarcoma virus protease | <enzyme> Has been sequenced; crystallographic structure has been determined Registry number: EC 3.4.23.- Synonym: protease, rous sarcoma virus, rous sarcoma virus aspartic protease (26 Jun 1999) |
| Moloney murine sarcoma virus | <molecular biology, virology> Replication defective retrovirus, source of the oncogene v mos, responsible for inducing fibrosarcomas in vivo and transforming cells in culture. (18 Nov 1997) |
| moloney sarcoma virus | A replication-defective murine sarcoma virus (sarcoma viruses, murine) isolated from a rhabdomyosarcoma by moloney in 1966. (12 Dec 1998) |
| murine sarcoma virus | A seemingly defective retrovirus that produces sarcomas in mice when growing in the presence of a "helper" virus; e.g., mouse leukaemia virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| porcine sarcoma virus | A retrovirus causing sarcoma in swine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Harvey sarcoma virus | <oncogene> One of a family of oncogenes, first identified as transforming genes of Harvey and Kirsten murine sarcoma viruses. (Name from rat sarcoma because Harvey virus, though a mouse virus, obtained its transforming gene during passage in a rat). Transforming protein coded is p21ras, a GTP-binding protein with GTPase activity, that resembles regulatory G-proteins. (18 Nov 1997) |
| sarcoma virus | <virology> Virus that causes tumours originating from cells of connective tissue such as fibroblasts. See: Rous sarcoma virus, src. (18 Nov 1997) |
| sarcoma virus, feline | A species of mammalian type c retroviruses (retroviruses type c, mammalian) isolated from fibrosarcoma in cats. The virus is actually a recombinant feline leukaemia virus (felv) where part of the genome has been replaced by cellular oncogenes. It is unique to individuals and not transmitted naturally to other cats. Fesv is replication defective and requires felv to reproduce. (12 Dec 1998) |
| herpes virus, kaposi sarcoma-associated | Species of an unnamed genus, subfamily gammaherpesvirinae, isolated from patients with aids-related and "classical" kaposi sarcoma. The sequences suggest this is a new human herpes virus, unofficially identified as human herpes virus-8 (hhv-8). (12 Dec 1998) |
| feline leukaemia-sarcoma virus complex | Viruses from cats that induce transmissible leukaemia or transmissible fibrosarcoma in kittens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| feline sarcoma virus | <virology> A retrovirus which carries an oncogene that causes feline sarcoma (a tumour-causing disease) in cats. (09 Oct 1997) |
| bovine virus diarrhoea virus | A virus of the genus Pestivirus, in the family Togaviridae, causing bovine virus diarrhoea; New York, Oregon, and Indiana strains of the virus are recognised. Synonym: mucosal disease virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
