Induction of murine C-type viruses from clonal lines of virus-free BALB-3T3 cells

Science. 1971 Oct 8;174(4005):157-9. doi: 10.1126/science.174.4005.157.

Abstract

Each clone of BALB/c mouse embryo cells that has been tested can be induced to form C-type virus. The individual cells therefore contain a complete copy of the genetic information for making the murine RNA tumor viruses.
