Replication of oncornavirus-like particle in human breast carcinoma cell line, MCF-7

Nature volume 252, pages 247–250 (1974)Cite this article

Abstract

THE search for RNA-containing human breast cancer viruses has been helped by the discovery of several biochemical and biophysical characteristics of the oncornavirus group1–4. Although these properties may not be unique to oncornaviruses5, they provide biological reagents for more discriminating tests6–8 to establish species of origin, natural history and virus taxonomy for candidate viruses exhibiting these properties.
