## Abstract Antibody levels to mouse mammary tumor virus (MuMTV) in sera of C3H/BI, C57BL/6 and AKR mice were assayed by an enzymeβlinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). It was found that antibody levels to MuMTV were highest in sera of C3H/Bi females which have a high incidence of breast cancer and l

Abstract
Mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) proviral sequences were detected in the cellular DNA of mammary tumors and livers of RIII and C3H mice by molecular hybridization with radioactively labelled MMTV 60β70S RNA or tritiated MMTV complementary DNA (cDNA). By means of DNA:DNA reassociation kinetics, the DNA of the mammary tumor cells of these two mouse strains were found to contain more MMTV proviral sequences than the DNA of liver cells of these same tumorβbearing mice. Evidence is also presented that the DNA of the liver cells lacks a part (approximately 25%) of the MMTV proviral sequences found in the mammary tumor cells of these mouse strains. The relationship of the extra MMTV proviral sequences found in mammary tumor cells to the early mammary tumorβigenesis seen in these mouse strains is discussed.

## Abstract The occurrence rates of mammary tumors as affected by breeding regimen (early in life, late, continuous, or not at all) in A, RIII, and C3H mice were observed. The response to the breeding regimen was different in each of the three strains. The C3H stock was affected least, although the
