## Abstract G mice carrying the Fv‐4^r^ gene are resistant to exogenous infections of various strains of ecotropic MuLVs (Suzuki, 1975). The expression of endogenous N‐tropic XC‐positive virus was studied in the progency of a cross between G and AKR mice. In the F^1^, mice, the virus expression was

Abstract
G mice carrying the Fv‐4 resistant allele supported virus growth neither at an early nor a later (Kai et al., 1976) stage of infection with NB‐tropic FLV. This resistance could not be abolished by treatment of G mice with cyclophosphamide or cortisone acetate. By bone‐marrow or spleen‐cell transplantation into irradiated mice, the resistance of G mice could be transferred to Fv‐4‐susceptible mice. Conversely, transfer of bone‐marrow or spleen cells of Fv‐4‐susceptible mice rendered G mice susceptible. It could be concluded that, as assessed by the virus content in the spleen, helper LLV grows mainly in radiosensitive, bone‐marrow‐derived cells, and the Fv‐4 gene is expressed in these cells.
