Abstract
A MONOLAYER cell culture (ESP-1) established with cells from pleural effusion of a patient with Burkitt lymphoma (American type) continuously produced virus particles morphologically similar to murine type C virus particles1. Earlier results1 of immunodiffusion tests suggest that the type C virus particles in the ESP-1 culture do not seem to have the group specific (gs-1) antigen of the known animal leukaemia viruses. These immunodiffusion tests also did not show the gs-3 antigen common to the viruses of leukaemia of mouse, hamster, rat, and cat.
