In this, part of the viral genome is deleted and replaced with the cellular oncogene. The virus then becomes acutely transforming because this oncogene is now under the transcriptional control of very efficient viral promoters. This then allows infection of a cell and insertion of this continuously expressed oncogene into the cellular genome leading toward rapid progression and malignancy. Evidence suggests that these acutely transforming viruses are not transmitted naturally, but all events occur in the individual animal.

ABL hybrid gene produces a novel transcript whose protein product has elevated tyrosine kinase activity and can contribute to uncontrolled cellular proliferation. Transgenic mice for this chimeric gene develop lymphoblastic leukemia and lymphoma.
