title: [Induction of leukemia in Rauscher virus-resistant mice by mixed infection with M. arthritidis and Rauscher virus].
abstract: At 2-10 months after combined infection with Rauscher virus and M. arthritidis of mice (C57BL/6XA/He)F1 resistant to this virus 14 out of 23 animals developed leukemia morphologically identical to Rauscher leukemia induced in sensitive mice. In control groups of similar animals infected with virus alone or mycoplasma alone not a single case of leukemia developed. As a result of serial intraperitoneal passages in syngeneic mice of cells of leukemias primarily induced by mixed mycoplasma-virus infection 3 transplantable leukemia strains were obtained the cytological picture of which was similar with the original. Upon intraperitoneal and subcutaneous inoculations of leukemic cells generalized leukemia develops as well as a local transplant under the skin or in the abdominal wall at the site of needle puncture.
