## 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 radioisotopeβlabelled MTVβRNA and MTV Bβparticle antigenicity could be detected in the culture fluid. In addition, type
## Abstract B cells are the primary targets of infection for mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV). However, for productive retroviral infection, T cell stimulation through the virallyβencoded superantigen (SAG) is necessary. It activates B cells and leads to cell division and differentiation. To charac
