Susceptibility to tumors induced by polyoma virus is conferred by an endogenous mouse mammary tumor virus superantigen.
1 May 1995
Abstract excerpt
A dominant gene carried in certain inbred mouse strains confers susceptibility to tumors induced by polyoma virus. This gene, designated Pyvs, was defined in crosses between the highly susceptible C3H/BiDa strain and the highly resistant but H-2k-identical C57BR/cdJ strain. The resistance of C57BR/cdJ mice is overcome by irradiation, indicating an immunological basis. In F1 x C57BR/cdJ backcross mice, tumor...
