Tumour Induction in C3H and Swiss ICR Mice by Tissue Culture Preparations of Polyoma Virus

Abstract

‘PLAQUE-PURIFIED’ lines of polyoma virus aro capable of inducing more than one type of tumour1 and this property is neither strain- nor species-specific2,3. However, mice show a wider variety of tumours than other rodents, and although evidence for some strain specificity in mice has been presented1, the incidence of parotid gland tumours has exceeded that of any other histological type.
