## Abstract IgG binding to purified mouse mammary tumor virus (MuMTV) was quantitated by an enzyme‐linked immunoassay (ELISA) using sera from patients with breast cancer or benign breast disease, or from healthy agematched controls. Significantly greater binding (p<0.01) was found in breast‐cancer‐

Abstract
Organ and cell cultures of BALB/cfC3H mammary tumor tissue release infectious MTV into the medium. Not only were bioassays of culture fluid for MTV positive, but also radioisotope‐labelled MTV‐RNA and MTV B‐particle antigenicity could be detected in the culture fluid. In addition, type B virus particles were found budding from the cell membranes. Bioassays of control MTV‐free BALB/c tumor cultures were negative, as were radio‐chemical, immunological and morphological studies. Thus, infectivity could be correlated to the presence of labelled B particles in the cultures.

## Abstract A competition radioimmunoassay for purified MTV proteins, MTVp27^gag^ and MTVgp52^env^, was applied to measure the amounts of these proteins in the milk of various mice of Japanese origin. The results were compared to those from European and American strains of high and low mammary canc
