The effect of Rauscher and Moloney leukaemia virus on amyloid development in casein-treated CBA mice.
Infection of adult CBA mice with Rauscher or Moloney leukaemia virus concomitantly with caseination significantly accelerated spleen amyloid development in irradiated, bone-marrow protected mice, but had no effect on untreated, adult thymectomized or thymectomized irradiated mice. Spleen tissue of mice infected with Moloney virus had the highest titre in the mice with accelerated amyloid development.
