## Abstract In the present work a method is described for obtaining monospecific antibodies to the group‐specific antigen of the murine leukemia viruses (MuLV‐gs). This antigen is demonstrated in normal and malignant tissues by the indirect immunofluorescence technique. The MuLV‐gs was demonstrated

Abstract
The distribution of group‐specific antigen of murine leukemia viruses (MuL V‐gs) was studied in mice of low‐leukemic strains: C57BL/6, C57BL/10Sn, BALB/c and others. A rabbit monospecific anti‐MuLV‐gs serum was used for the antigen detection. The analyses were carried out by an indirect immunoradioautography technique which permitted the detection of trace amounts of the antigen. MuLV‐gs was found in the spleen of mice of all strains studied. It was present in mouse embryos as well as in adult animals.
