RESUMO
We analyzed the relationship of genetic factors determining the expression of endogenous type-C RNA tumor viruses and other host-gene markers to tumorigenesis. A hybridization experiment was performed with mice of strains AKR/J and C57L, the first filial (F1) generation hybrids, the second filial (F2) generation hybrids, and the backcrosses to the two parental strains. The results demonstrated a highly significant and predictable association between the expression of complete infectious virus or the viral group-specific (gs) antigen in spleens of young mice and tumorigenesis later in life. Most of the tumors were thymic leukemia and reticulum sarcoma, but other mesenchymal, as well as epithelial, tumors were also observed. Tumors occurred preferentially in gs-antigen- or virus-positive mice of all crosses; in the C57L-backcross and F2 mice segregating for gs-antigen and virus expression, a few gs-antigen-negative mice developed reticulum cell sarcomas. At the time of their occurrence, the mice were all gs-antigen-positive, and most had virus as well.
