The Effects of Protamine on a Murine Leukemia Virus [PDF]
British Journal of Cancer, 1971 THIS STUDY INDICATED THAT: (1) i.p. inoculation of protamine into (Rauscher) leukemic mice increased their X death time, (2) protamine was more toxic for leukemic than normal mice and (3) the in vitro reaction between Rauscher virus and protamine reduced its infectivity for mice.

DNA extraction columns contaminated with murine sequences. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Sequences of the novel gammaretrovirus, xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV) have been described in human prostate cancer tissue, although the amounts of DNA are low. Furthermore, XMRV sequences and polytropic (p) murine leukemia viruses

Murine gammaretrovirus group G3 was not found in Swedish patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 BACKGROUND: The recent report of gammaretroviruses of probable murine origin in humans, called xenotropic murine retrovirus related virus (XMRV) and human murine leukemia virus related virus (HMRV), necessitated a bioinformatic search for this virus in ...

Infectious viral DNA of murine leukemia virus. [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1975 A fraction of the unintegrated viral DNA that appears early after infection of mouse cells by Moloney leukemia virus is infectious. The infectivity could be deomonstrated by an XC plaque assay of the cells exposed to DNA co-precipitated with calcium phosphate.

Tumorigenesis related to retroviral infections
Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2011 Retroviral infections are considered important risk factors for cancer development in humans since approximately 15-20% of cancer worldwide is caused by an infectious agent.

Activating and Protective Capacities of a Purified Electrophoretic Fraction of Murine Leukemia Virus for Murine Leukemia Virus Infectivity [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1972 A highly purified gel electrophoretic fraction of murine leukemia virus (MuLV) can confer enhanced infectivity on MuLV derived from tissue culture and can protect MuLV from neutralization by specific antiserum. Of the known viral proteins tested, a purified electrophoretic fraction (14,000 daltons) is the only active fraction and seems to consist of ...

Co-infection with the friend retrovirus and mouse scrapie does not alter prion disease pathogenesis in susceptible mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Prion diseases are fatal, transmissible neurodegenerative diseases of the central nervous system. An abnormally protease-resistant and insoluble form (PrP(Sc)) of the normally soluble protease-sensitive host prion protein (PrP(C)) is the major component ...
