The lack of association of theta status and murine leukaemia virus content in the AKR.
Two AKR sublines appear atypical in possessing theta C3H. One of these two sublines - AKR/FuA - is notably resistant to lymphomata and is also characterized by reduced levels of the group specific murine leukaemia viral (MuLV) antigen. This suggested a possible association between theta status tumour susceptibility and viral content. Results here show no reduction in viral antigen titres in the other theta C3H tumour susceptible subline AKR/Cum, thus eliminating the possible association of theta status with the extent of MuLV replication.
