The lack of association of θ status and murine leukaemia virus content in the AKR

British Journal of Cancer volume 32, pages 678–679 (1975)Cite this article

Abstract

Two AKR sublines appear atypical in possessing theta C3H. One of these two sublines - AKR/FuA - is notably resistant to lymphomata and is also characterized by reduced levels of the group specific murine leukaemia viral (MuLV) antigen. This suggested a possible association between theta status tumour susceptibility and viral content. Results here show no reduction in viral antigen titres in the other theta C3H tumour susceptible subline AKR/Cum, thus eliminating the possible association of theta status with the extent of MuLV replication.
