Abstract
A high percentage of AKR mice develop spontaneous leukaemia which has been shown to be associated with the early expression of ecotropic murine leukaemia virus (MuLV)1 and the subsequent expression of xenotropic2 as well as polytropic3 MuLVs. Generally, mice infected with any one of several groups of viruses, including MuLVs, have been shown to produce interferon (IF)4. However, we report here that AKR mice produce no IF, despite that fact that infectious, endogenous MuLV is expressed in these mice from birth5.Keywords
