Abstract
Growth of serologically distinct murine RNA tumour viruses in human cells results in the acquisition of common viral surface antigens that are genetically stable. The altered viruses are able to replicate much more efficiently than the parent viruses in human cells. These findings can best be interpreted on the basis of recombination of viral and human genetic information.
