The northern leopard frog, Rana pipiens , is vulnerable to a herpesvirus‐induced renal tumor. The Lucké renal adenocarcinoma is metastatic as a function of temperature. The cloning procedure of nuclear transplantation has been used to study the differentiation potential of the tumor genome. This paper summarizes current studies of the pathology, virology, and differentiation competence of the Lucké tumor. J. Cell. Physiol. 173:115–118, 1997. © 1997 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
