Virus-like particles induced by bromodeoxyuridine in melanoma and neuroblastoma of Xiphophorus

Virus-like particles induced by bromodeoxyuridine in melanoma and neuroblastoma of Xiphophorus

G Kollinger et al. J Cancer Res Clin Oncol. 1979.

Abstract

5-Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdUrd) injected into the muscular tissue of fish bearing melanoma or neuroblastoma induces the production of virus-like particles in these tumors. The particles in the melanoma are morphologically similar to papovaviruses of polyoma-type, those in the neuroblastoma resemble oncornaviruses of B- and C-type.
