Six week-old male CBA/J mice fed a commercial powdered laboratory chow or the same chow supplemented with vitamin A palmitate (150,000 U/kg) were inoculated with either the Moloney strain of murine sarcoma virus (M-MuSV) or poxvirus. Central body temperature was measured daily. Both viruses elicited fevers, but the fevers were less pronounced and of shorter duration in the mice ingesting the vitamin A-supplemented diet. Palpable M-MuSV-induced tumors appeared later, were less frequent, grew more slowly, and were resorbed sooner in the mice fed the vitamin A supplement. Similarly, in these mice the appearance of pox lesions was delayed, their numbers reduced, and their disappearance hastened.
给六周大的雄性CBA/J小鼠喂食市售粉状实验室饲料或添加了棕榈酸视黄醇（150,000 U/kg）的相同饲料，然后用莫洛尼鼠肉瘤病毒（M-MuSV）毒株或痘病毒接种。每天测量核心体温。两种病毒都引发了发热，但在摄入补充了维生素A的饮食的小鼠中，发热不那么明显，持续时间也更短。在喂食维生素A补充剂的小鼠中，可触及的M-MuSV诱导的肿瘤出现得更晚，频率更低，生长更慢，并且更快被吸收。同样，在这些小鼠中，痘疹病变的出现延迟，数量减少，消失加快。
