Abstract
The in vivo biologic activities of a clonal isolate of the Rauscher strain of murine leukemia virus and several conditional lethal mutants with impaired replicative functions at the non‐permissive temperature were investigated. The parental virus induced a rapidly developing lymphoid leukemia in a high percentage of NIH Swiss mice inoculated as newborns. Mice inoculated in parallel with temperature‐sensitive mutant viruses showed no evidence of disease. The implications of these findings with regard to the requirements for type‐C virus replication to permit oncogenic transformation of lymphoid cells in vivo are discussed.

## Abstract __In vivo__ TSTA induction in Syrian hamsters was studied with the use of SV40 ts mutants (A, B, C, BC and D). The ts A30, ts A239 and possibly also the ts BC210 mutants were defective in resistance‐inducing activity in hamsters in contrast to wild type SV40 and other ts mutants. At the
## Abstract The aminothiol WR1065, the active metabolite of the cytoprotector amifostine, exerts its antimutagenic effects through free‐radical scavenging and other unknown mechanisms. In an earlier report, we showed that WR1065 activates wild‐type p53 in MCF‐7 cells, leading to p53‐dependent arres
