Abstract
The discovery that sequences coding for C-type viruses were endogenous to the genome of a variety of vertebrates raised several important questions. Principal among these were the relationship of endogenous viruses to oncogenic C-type viruses and their putative function during normal differentiation and development of their host cells. Recently a possible link between endogenous virus expression and the development of spontaneous leukemia has been proposed by the work of Hartley and Rowe with AKR mice [1]. Reasons for the retention and expression of these viruses in normal cells, however, have been lacking.KeywordsViral AntigenViral SequenceViral TranscriptEndogenous VirusMurine LymphocyteThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
