Isolation of infectious C type oncornavirus from human leukaemic bone marrow cells
article
The authors report the isolation of a C type oncornavirus from a 4 yr old patient with a lynphosarcoma which had progressed to a state of lymphoblastic leukemia. Bone marrow cells were cultured in liquid suspension in the presence of phytohemagglutinin. After 3 days culture, the supernatant was examined for the presence of C type particles using the Millipore filter technique and was found to be positive.
