title: Investigations on the presence of papova virus in certain forms of human cancer. Note I. Renal tumors and melanomas.
abstract: Within the framework of their research concerns regarding the presence of papova viruses in the human population of Romania, as well as the relationship between these viruses and certain forms of human cancer, the authors undertook an electron microscopic study of 4 renal tumors and 6 melanomas. No viral particles could be made evident in any of the sections examined. Viral SV-40 antigen was detected by indirect immunofluorescence reaction in kidney sections from a nephrosis case considered as control.
