Abstract
PARTICLES resembling viruses were first observed in organs of mice with spontaneous leukaemia and in thin sections of a biopsy specimen from a lymph node of a patient with acute lymphocytic leukaemia by Dmochowski and Grey1. They also found them in some biopsy specimens of lymph nodes and bone marrows before and after growth in tissue culture2,3,8. Recent reports have described the presence of type C virus particles in other human tumours including liposarcoma4, osteosarcoma5,6, giant cell tumour9, rhabdomyosarcoma (unpublished results of L. D. and E. S. P.) and breast carcinoma7.
