Expression of the P100gag-mil protein of avian retrovirus MH2 in cultured chicken embryo neuroretina cells was previously shown to result in the proliferation of normally quiescent cell populations. We show here that long terminal repeat activation of the carboxy terminus of the c-mil gene is sufficient to induce neuroretina cell proliferation.
