Chemical transformation of rat cells infected with xenotropic type-C RNA virus and its suppression by virus-specific antiserum.

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Fischer rat embryo cells infected with xenotropic mouse type-C RNA viruses isolated from either NIH Swiss mice or C57L inbred mice were transformed by 4-nitroquinoline oxide or 3-methylcholanthrene under conditions in which neither treatment alone sufficed to induce transformation. Transformation was dependent on the presence of actively growing virus at the time of chemical treatment. Specific antibody to xenotropic virus neutralized the virus and inhibited malignant transformation by 3-methylcholanthrene.
