Activation of C-type RNA virus markers in mouse uterine tissue.
Synthetic estrogenic compounds, both steroidal and nonsteroidal, and radiation activate markers of C-type virus information in mouse uterine tissue. Both the group-specific viral antigen and the RNA-directed DNA polymerase can be detected within 4 days after stimulation. These observations strengthen the concept of host-modified control mechanisms for expression of C-type virus markers.
