Oncogenic Effect of Human Adenovirus Type 12, in Mice

Abstract
Undifferentiated malignant tumors were induced at the site of injection of human adenovirus type 12 into newborn mice of the C3Hf/ G8. strain, but not of the DBAf, or Af strains. The tumors were grossly and histologically similar to those induced by this virus in hamsters, but appeared in a smaller percentage of injected mice than hamsters.
