Thymus-derived leukemia virus of AKR/J mice was inactivated by anti-theta antiserum. But it was not inactiviated by the antiserum which had been absorbed with intact thymus cells of AKR/J or RF/J mice, and by anti-uterus-derived leukemia virus antiserum. In contrast, uterus-derived leukemia virus of the strain was not inactivated by anti-theta antiserum, but was neutralized by anti-uterus-derived leukemia virus antiserum. The results suggest the possibility that some constitutents of the envelope of thymus-derived leukemia virus are derived from the plasma membrane of thymus cells of AKR mice at the time of budding and that such constituents are not associated with the enveloped of uterus-derived leukemia virus.
AKR/J小鼠的胸腺源性白血病病毒被抗θ抗血清灭活。但它不会被用AKR/J或RF/J小鼠的完整胸腺细胞吸收过的抗血清以及抗子宫源性白血病病毒抗血清灭活。相比之下，该品系的子宫源性白血病病毒不会被抗θ抗血清灭活，但会被抗子宫源性白血病病毒抗血清中和。这些结果提示，胸腺源性白血病病毒包膜的某些成分可能在出芽时源自AKR小鼠胸腺细胞的质膜，且这些成分与子宫源性白血病病毒的包膜无关。
