[Expression of an antigen associated with Gross virus on the surfaces of murine cells producing an oncornavirus from the radioleukemia of C57BL/6 mice].

A leukemogenic viral complex was demonstrated in cultures of 13-3 C cell line derived from a C57BL/6, radiation leukemia virus (RadLV-Rs) induced tumor. Both 13-3C and leukemic cells induced in C57BL/6 mice by 13-3C virus carry a cell surface antigen associated with Gross leukemia virus (GCSAa). These findings point to a close similarity between these antigens and those of murine endogenous ecotropic viruses.
