Abstract excerpt
Various strains of mice demonstrate widely differing susceptibility to chemical induction of thymic lymphomas, in both timing and incidence. In AKR mice tumors appear very early and at high incidence after a single dose of N-methyl-N-nitrosourea, while in other strains they appear later and at lower incidences. In an attempt to determine the potential role of AKR ecotropic murine leukemia virus loci in this...
