title: Studies of genetic transmission of murine leukemia virus by AKR mice. I. Crosses with Fv-1 n  strains of mice.
abstract: AKR mice, which regularly contain infectious murine leukemia virus, were mated with four Fv-1(n) strains of mice which show little or no expression of virus. F(1), F(2), and first and second backcross generation hybrids were tested for virus in tail tissue at 2 and 6 wk of age. The segregation data indicate that the AKR mouse contains two unlinked, autosomal, chromosomal loci, either of which suffices to induce detectable levels of infectious virus in Fv-1(n) progeny by 6 wk of age. One of the loci (tentatively referred to as V(1)) is on linkage group I, 25-30 map units from the locus for albino; the gene order tentatively appears to be N(1)-c-Hbb.
