## Abstract The genetic control of susceptibility to the Friend leukemia virus (FLV) complex was studied under conditions which excluded the effect of the Fv locus. From hybrids between two mouse lines which have the same Fv genotype, but differ from each other in response to FLV infection, partial

Abstract
The effect of the Fv‐1 mouse gene restriction of N‐ and B‐tropic mouse leukemia viruses was examined by determining the fate of the viruses in heterokaryons of permissive and non‐permissive cells. Virus expression in cultures of fused cells was analyzed by simultaneous autoradiography and fluorescent antibody assay, which permitted the detection of virus‐induced proteins specifically in heterokaryons or cells of either parental type. Heterokaryons were found to dominantly restrict both N‐ and B‐tropic virus, but not NB‐tropic virus which infects either cell type with equal efficiency. Fusion of permissive cells with non‐permissive cells at increasing intervals after infection showed that the restriction affects some virus function within at least 12 h of infection. These results indicate that the Fv‐1 gene locus, or gene product, affects some post‐penetration events required for virus protein synthesis.

## Abstract Foci of transformed cells, produced by MSV(124), appeared to result only from the primary infection, since this virus stock yielded a virus‐nonproducing infection. On the other hand, the majority of foci scored in MSV/MLV‐infected cultures, were generated by multiple secondary infection
