Transplantable murine tumors release mouse-tropic and xenotropic type-C viruses.
Transplantable mouse tumors used in many areas of cancer research generally produce several host-range classes of infectious type-C virus. The release of virus from such tumors should be considered in the design and evaluation of experiments in which they are used.
