Immunology of the mouse mammary tumor virus: comparison of mammary tumor virus with the agent found in C3Hf/Crgl mice.
C3Hf/Crgl mice, containing no biologically active mammary tumor virus, nonetheless possess both type-B virus particles and a component which cross-reacts serologically with the mammary tumor virus. Neutralization studies and the immunodiffusion assay for measuring the antigenicity of the mammary tumor virus indicate that transfer of the virus particles from C3Hf to BALB/cCrgl mice is accompanied by transfer of the cross-reacting antigenic component.
