A protein of Halobacterium halobium immunologically related to the v‐myc gene product

Abstract
A 70 kDa protein of Halobacterium halobium cross‐reacts with an antiserum directed against the v‐myc gene product of the avian myelocytomatosis virus (MC29). This cross‐reaction is in agreement with hybridization studies which indicate that H. halobium possesses DNA and RNA sequences homologous to the v‐myc gene.
