## Abstract Mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) has long been known as a causal agent of breast cancer in mice. To date, varied MMTVβlike envelope gene (__env__) sequences have been identified in up to 74% of human breast cancers. However, the role and origin of these MMTVβlike sequences in human brea

## Abstract The authors have found that retroviral sequences with 85% to 95% homology to the mouse mammary tumor virus were present in 40% of the sporadic breast cancers of American women. These sequences were not found in normal breasts or other tumors. A whole proviral structure was detected in 2
## Abstract Mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) is a hormonally regulated, oncogenic virus of mice. MMTVβlike virus DNA has previously been detected in human breast cancers, liver disease, and liver cancers. It is hypothesized that local hormonal effects might be of primary importance in determining M
## Abstract IgG binding to purified mouse mammary tumor virus (MuMTV) was quantitated by an enzymeβlinked 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 breastβcancerβ
