title: In vitro susceptibility of mink lung cells to the mouse mammary tumor virus.
abstract: Lung cells from mink embryos were infected in vitro with a purified mammary tumor virus isolated from RIII mouse milk. Specific virus antigen at the cell surface was detected by membrane immunofluorescence; B-type virions budding from the cell membrane were seen by electron microscopy. Nucleic acid hybridization confirmed replication and specificity of the virus produced.
