Membrane antigens of murine leukaemia cells

Nature volume 251, pages 742–745 (1974)Cite this article

Abstract

THE membranes of lymphoid cells from tumours induced by oncornaviruses are antigenically altered. The new surface antigen(s) are readily recognised by isologous (histocompatible) hosts which mount both cellular and humoral immune responses1,2. It is essential to know whether or not antigens induced by the various strains of murine leukaemia viruses (MuLV) are cross-reacting immunologically.
