Abstract
In mouse cell lines derived from mammary adenocarcinomnas, the synthetic steroid dexamnethasone stimulates production of murine mammary tumor virus. Viral RNA and antigens are increased as much as 20-fold, and culture fluid supernatants from steroid-treated cells contain type B particles with reverse transcriptase. These cells provide a possible tissue culture source of this virus and a model system for studying the mechanism of action of corticosteroids and the regulation of transcription of integrated viral DNA.Entities:
