Working with chickens, Erikson startled the scientific community when he identified the protein produced by the oncagene in one type of virus...
...Erikson made his first headway in the field while at the University of Colorado in the 1970s when he began working with chickens and viruses...
According to Erikson, the idea that small changes within a cell could induce oncagenesis eventully allowed him to actually identify the oncagene and the protein it produces...
Shortly thereafter, J. Michael Bishop and his colleagues at the University of California at San Francisco found a virtually identical set of genes in cells of vertebrates including humans. And, in each case, a similar protein to Erikson's was produced...
