abstractText | One hundred Balb/c mice were infected with murine herpesvirus strain 72 (MHV-72) and observed for 2.5 years for neoplasm development and virus presence in tumour as well as non-tumour tissues. Out of 13 neoplasm-bearing mice the virus was recovered from solid tumours (one lymphoma, two non-differentiated lymphoblastomas and two fibrosarcomas) of five mice and from the spleen of one mouse with lymphatic leukemia. The virus persisted frequently also in various organs of the neoplasm-bearing mice. |
