Abstract
InoueβMelnick virus (IMV) was isolated directly from all of the seven human colorectal adenocarcinoma tissues studied, whereas IMV was not isolated from five human stomach carcinoma tissues. Seven isolates from the Japanese colorectal carcinoma tissues were identified as type 1 IMV by the neutralization test and were sensitive to phosphonoacetic acid, a growth inhibitor of IMV. Furthermore, type 1 IMVβantibody was detected in six of seven sera of the patients whose colorectal carcinoma tissues were positive for virus isolation. In contrast, IMVβantibody was not detected in the five sera of the patients whose stomach carcinoma tissues were tested and found negative for IMV.

## Abstract The antibody prevalence rate of 3 types of IMV in 24 sera of Japanese patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma (mean age 60.8 years) was 83.3% (20/24). Of 20 positive sera, 19 contained type 1 antibody and one contained type 2. In contrast, the seropositivity of IMV in 21 sera of matched
