Abstract
A procedure for radioimmunoassay of the major glycoprotein antigen derived from murine mammary tumor virus is described. The assay is sensitive to 0.05 ng of antigen and is highly reproducible. The antigen, gp55, is group specific and will detect viruses in 13 separate mouse strains and from continuous cell lines. Factors affecting the assay were examined.
