title: Characterization of tumors induced in adult Macaca mulata monkeys with Carr-Zilber strain of Rous sarcoma virus.
abstract: The Carr-Zilber strain of Rous sarcoma virus is highly oncogenic for adult monkeys of the species Macaca mulata. In the present study, we examined some characteristics of tumor growth when the tumor either regressed or progressed until it killed its host. We followed the kinetics of antibody formation to antigens coded by CZ-RSV in animals with a different course of tumor disease. The sera of animals tested contained virus-neutralizing antibodies, in addition to gs antibodies. The results are discussed with regard to the possible virus-productive type of interaction between RSV and the monkey cell.
