title: Properties of the retrovirus RPMI8226V.
abstract: The retrovirus designated RPMI8226V (isolated from human myeloma cells RPMI8226) has been characterized with respect to its morphological, biochemical and immunological properties as well as to find the most permissive cells for its propagation. The RPMI8226V with its morphological, biochemical and immunological characteristics was not found to be related to any known avian and mammalian oncoviruses. The most permissive cells for its propagation were bat (CCL88) and mink (CCL64).
