[Rous virus-induced sarcoma study of Macaca mulatta monkeys].

The Carr-Zilber strain of Rous sarcoma virus is highly oncogenic for adult monkeys of the species Macaca mulata. In the present study the authors examined some characteristics of tumor growth, when the tumor either regressed or progressed until it killed its host. The kinetics of antibody formation to antigens coded as CZ-RSV was followed in animals with a different course of tumor disease. The sera of animals under test contained virus-neutralizing antibodies in addition to gs antibodies.
