Abstract
Gross murine leukemia virus is the etiologic agent of spontaneous leukemias of AKR mice. Despite the persistence of the Gross virus throughout their life, these mice are not immunologically tolerant to the virus. Specific antibodies to Gross antigens can be detected in the kidney where they have been deposited in the glomeruli, apparently in the form of Gross antigen-antibody complexes.
