X-gp70: a third molecular species of the envelope protein gp70 of murine leukemia virus, expressed on mouse lymphoid cells

Abstract

Three variants of the gp70 envelope component of MuLV are now recognizable serologically: GIX-gp70, 0-gp70, and X-gp70. The last of these, X-gp70, has so far been found only in mice or cells producing abundant C-type virus. This distinguishes X-gp70, provisionally, from the GIX-gp70 and 0-gp70 variants, each of which can be expressed on normal thymocytes without accompanying virus production, as exemplified by mouse strains 129 and B6, respectively. The X-gp70 genotype, however, is not limited to strains of mice-producing abundant virus, because X-gp70+ leukemias occur in strains of mice which do not produce a great deal of virus and whose thymocytes and other tissues are X-gp70-; this is analogous to the appearance of GIX+ leukemias in GIX- mouse strains.
