Cell-mediated immunity to antigens associated with endogenous murine C-type leukemia viruses

Science. 1975 Mar 14;187(4180):959-61. doi: 10.1126/science.167435.

Abstract

Splenic lymphocytes from (BALB/c times A/J) F 1 mice are cytotoxic for BALB/c fibroblasts infected with an endogenous C-type leukemia virus, but are not cytotoxic for uninfected BALB/c fibroblasts. These results indicate that mice do not exhibit cell-mediated immune tolerance to antigens associated with endogenous C-type viruses.
