[Expression of virus-specific functions in 3-methylcholanthrene-induced leukemia in rats]
Abstract
It was isolated and identified MR-Le virus from Wistar rats with myelogenous leukemia. The comparison of isolated in vivo and in vitro MR-Le virus with endogenous oncovirus RaLV in protein profile as well as results of molecular hybridization pointed out that RaLV did not participate in the induction of MR leukemia. The question about the role of MR-Le virus in the etiology of MR leukemia is opened now.
