Abstract
Summary
We have compared antigens of Rauscher leukemia virus (RV) derived from a human cell line with antigens of RV grown in mouse cells. Group specific rat antisera (GSS) to murine leukemia viruses show no reactivity with the outer membranous coat of either type of virus. The GSS demonstrates that the core of the disrupted HRV retained the murine leukemia group specific antigens. Rabbit antisera, prepared against each virus, showed specificity for the homologous virus reflecting antigenic differences in the outer membranous coats.
