Interactions between lymphocytes and C-type oncornaviruses in mice
Abstract
Several aspects of C-type oncornavirus-lymphocyte interactions in the mouse are reviewed: 1) immunological abnormalities induced by C-type viruses, particularly immunosuppression and autoimmunity; 2) activation or amplification of endogenous C-type viruses during immunological reactions; and 3) the immune responses to these endogenous oncornaviruses. A unifying hypothesis is proposed to relate various interactions between lymphocytes and C-type oncornaviruses.
