I have reached at following information:

The Tumor Virus subgroup B receptor (TVB) interact with glycoprotein of ASLV during infection.Can anyone explain me the mechanism of interaction?

Also, there are two theories regarding the cancer disease caused by ASLV.Firstly, Somatic Theory of Cancer.Secondly, direct attack of virus on the host.Which theory is more valid?

I do not know the answers to your questions.  However, I have had generally good results using PubMed to search for this sort of information in the biomedical literature.  You can limit the searches to only review articles, for example, if that is what you need.
