Abstract:SUMMARYFive rat strains were studied for immune responsiveness to SFFV-NRK, a normal rat kidney cell line non-productively infected with spleen focus-forming virus (SFFV) of the Friend leukaemia virus (FLV) complex. Antisera from ACI, JAR, Fischer and SD strains precipitated SFFV-specific gene product, gp55, whereas those from LEW did not. In the cross of Fischer x LEW, immune responsiveness to gp55 was controlled by a single or a few dominant genes. The immune responsiveness was neither related to the suscept… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
