Abstract
Freeze-thaw preparations of banded Rauscher murine leukemia virus markedly suppressed the in vitro cellular-mediated blastogenic response of murine splenic lymphocytes to phytohemagglutinin-P and to allogeneic cells in 2-way mixed-leukocyte reaction. Suppression was not due to cytotoxicity or to virus-mitogen binding. A virion envelope component may interfere with cellular-mediated immunity by altering cell recognition sites.
