Novel type of murine B-cell lymphoma

Abstract

ALTHOUGH several murine T-cell lymphomas have been well characterised (reviewed in ref. 1), only a single group of murine B-cell lymphomas, the Abelson lymphomas, has been described2. The Abelson lymphoma arose in a steroid-treated BALB/cCr mouse inoculated with Moloney leukaemia virus2, expresses surface immunoglobulin3–4 and can be transmitted by an infectious murine leukaemia virus2. We report here a new IgM-bearing B-cell lymphoma distinct from the Abelson lymphoma in its induction, pathogenesis and antigenic characteristics and which has many features in common with the widely studied guinea pig L2C lymphoma5–6.
