## 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

✦ Synopsis
The influence of in vivo infection with the polycythemic substrain of Friend leukemia virus on noninducible ('natural') resistance against allogeneic normal or malignant grafts was studied in lethally irradiated mice. Parallel studies were performed on the NK system in the same experimental conditions. The results indicate that FLV-P infection of mice with full (DBA/2) vs partial (BALB/c and CD2F1) susceptibility did not suppress their in vivo natural resistance against bone marrow or El-4 leukemia cells. On the other hand, a decline in NK activity paralleled the progression of leukemic disease in the more susceptible DBA/2 hosts.

## Abstract Lymphoid tissues of mice infected with murine leukemia virus (Friend) (MuLV‐F) were examined for the presence of cellular markers of MuLV‐F infection. The Friend virus‐associated cell membrane antigen (FVMA) and the virus group‐specific antigen (GSA) were detectable on cells from the sp
