## 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 group‐specific (GS) antigen of murine tumor viruses was demonstrated by immunofluorescence in mouse cells recently infected by mouse sarcoma virus, strain Moloney (MSV‐M), with the serum of rats carrying long‐transplanted MSV‐M tumors. GS antigen was detected 15 h post‐infection and was also present in various mouse and rat cell lines chronically infected with murine tumor viruses. The antigen was strictly localized in the cytoplasm of infected cells and was also found in mouse and rat cells chronically infected by members of the two major subgroups of murine tumor viruses. Further, the sera employed were shown to contain exclusively GS antibodies and the tumors used for immunization were found by several techniques to be free of virus envelope (V) antigens after a given number of passages in vivo. V antigens were visible only at the cell membrane and the time course of appearance of both GS and V antigens in recently infected cells was parallel. In contrast, GS antigen was not observed in two hamster tumor lines transformed by MSV‐M.
