Polytropic murine leukemia viruses (pMLV)

Description

Murine leukemia viruses (MLV) are a species of gammaretroviruses, containing many well-defined strains, producing leukemia in mice. Disease is commonly induced by injecting filtrates of propagable tumors into newborn mice. Polytropic murine leukemia viruses (MLVs) are generated by recombination of ecotropic MLVs with members of a family of endogenous proviruses in mice.
