## Abstract Sublethally irradiated BALB/c mice innoculated with Moloney sarcoma virus (MSV‐M) develop progressively growing tumors and die within 30 days of virus innoculation. These animals can be protected from tumor progression (and death) by innoculation of small numbers of MSV‐immune T lymphoc

Abstract
Purified viruses, viral antigens, and cell extracts have been tested for their ability to stimulate protein synthesis by MSV‐M^1^ regressor spleen cells from BALB/c mice. Immune, but not normal cells, responded to MSV‐M, but not to MSV‐G virus^1^, and to the type‐specific viral envelope glycoprotein from MSV‐M, virus. Extracts of mouse embryo fibroblasts transformed by either MSV‐M or MSV‐G, however, specifically stimulated MSV‐M regressor spleen cells. Cells stimulated by different antigens, and by phytohaemagglutinin, had the same sedimentation profile and were identified as T‐lymphocytes.
