## Abstract The expression of the mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) in hormoneβinduced mammary tumors was investigated by means of a radioimmunoassay for two major MMTV proteins, gp52 and p27. MMTV proteins were isolated on lectin affinityβ and ionβexchange chromatography columns. The purified viral

β¦ Synopsis
Estrogen compounds were used to treat mice bearing syngeneic transplants of medroxyprogesterone acetate(MPA)-induced BALB/c mammary adenocarcinomas. Both MPA-dependent and MPA-independent tumor lines were used. These lines expressed estrogen (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR). We demonstrate that different doses of estradiol benzoate (EB) and 17-fi-estradiol (Ed inhibit tumor growth and induce tumor regression in both MPA-independent and -dependent tumors, even in the presence of MPA or progesterone (P). EB was unable to induce regression of (ER-) hormone-independent tumor lines. A few MPA-dependent tumors became resistant to the estrogenic treatment; in subsequent passages some of these tumors retained their MPA-responsiveness, although estrogen sensitivity was not recovered.

A transplantable tumor of inbred mice was obtained by inoculating BALBIc mice subcutaneously with S V40-transformed mouse kidney (mKS-A) cells. Tumors were produced by mKS-A cells in the 7lst cell culture passage, but not by cells in the 26th passage. The tumor line has been serially passed in BALBI
