Three variants of the gp70 envelope component of MuLV are now recognizable serologically: GIX-gp70, 0-gp70, and X-gp70. The last of these, X-gp70, has so far been found only in mice or cells producing abundant C-type virus. This distinguishes X-gp70, provisionally, from the GIX-gp70 and 0-gp70 variants, each of which can be expressed on normal thymocytes without accompanying virus production, as exemplified by mouse strains 129 and B6, respectively. The X-gp70 genotype, however, is not limited to strains of mice-producing abundant virus, because X-gp70+ leukemias occur in strains of mice which do not produce a great deal of virus and whose thymocytes and other tissues are X-gp70-; this is analogous to the appearance of GIX+ leukemias in GIX- mouse strains.
目前,通过血清学方法可识别出莫氏白血病病毒(MuLV)包膜成分gp70的三种变体:GIX-gp70、0-gp70和X-gp70。其中,X-gp70迄今为止仅在产生大量C型病毒的小鼠或细胞中发现。这暂时将X-gp70与GIX-gp70和0-gp70变体区分开来,例如,GIX-gp70和0-gp70变体分别可在129和B6小鼠品系的正常胸腺细胞上表达,且无伴随病毒产生。然而,X-gp70基因型并不局限于产生大量病毒的小鼠品系,因为在不产生大量病毒且其胸腺细胞和其他组织为X-gp70阴性的小鼠品系中会出现X-gp70阳性白血病;这类似于GIX阴性小鼠品系中出现GIX阳性白血病的情况。
