Abstract
Mouse strain G was studied for its susceptibility to various strains of murine leukemia and sarcoma viruses. Both N- and NB-tropic Friend leukemia viruses neither induced splenomegaly nor grew efficiently in strain G mice. Using the XC test, cultured embryo cells were found to be resistant, but not absolutely, to all the tested viruses, N-tropic AKR virus, N- and NB-tropic Friend leukemia viruses, NB-tropic Rauscher leukemia virus, B-tropic WN1802B virus, NB-tropic Moloney leukemia and sarcoma viruses, and N-tropic Kirsten sarcoma virus, although the resistance to Moloney leukemia and sarcoma viruses is sometimes not as strong as that for other viruses. Thus, the strain G mice are unique among mouse strains because they show resistance that is not related to the N-B tropism of murine leukemia viruses.Entities:
