title: Carcinogenic chemicals enhance mouse leukemia virus infection in contact-inhibited culture: a new simple method of screening carcinogens.
abstract: Carcinogenic chemicals enhanced infection in contact-inhibited cells with mouse leukemia virus. A correlation was found between the enhancing effects and the carcinogenicities of the 40 chemicals tested. The tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate did not enhance viral infection.
