Reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV-T) is a replication-defective retrovirus which induces a rapidly-fatal lymphoma. The helper virus, reticuloendotheliosis-associated virus (REV-A), induces a splenic suppressor cell population which cytostatically inhibits the proliferation of cytotoxic cells capable of lysing REV-T tumour cells.
