Abstract

Myeloproliferative virus, derived from Moloney sarcoma virus, causes erythroleukemia and myeloid leukemia in adult mice. This virus is also capable of fibroblast transformation in vitro. The virus consists of two separable biological entities which have been cloned. The helper virus component caused no visible changes in adult mice, whereas the defective virus induced both spleen focus formation and a large increase in erythroid precursor cells but retained the sarcoma virus property of transforming fibroblasts in vitro. Thus, myeloproliferative virus is the first murine sarcoma virus which induces erythroleukemia in adult animals.
