Abstract excerpt
Bryan standard strain of Rous sarcoma virus (BS-RSV) of subgroup A was inoculated into heavy and light breeds of chicken embryos via chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) to ascertain cell-mediated immune response, as measured by a leukocyte migration inhibition (LMI) test. Chicks hatched from eggs with pock-positive CAMs were more likely to develop liver tumors than those hatched from eggs with pock-negative CAMs....
