Despite extensive studies, the correlation between the morphology and pathogenicity of murine leukemia viruses (MLV) has not yet been clarified. The virus particles found in the plasma of leukemic mice belong to 2 distinct groups, 1 or 2% of them being enveloped A particles and the vast majority being of type C. It is generally believed that these 2 types of particles represent different phases in the development of the same virus. Particles of type A have been thought to be an earlier form of type C particles. One of the tissue culture lines established from Friend leukemia solid tumors has provided the material for the present study. The supernatant fluid of the line designated C-1A contains an almost pure population of A particles as illustrated in Figure 1. The ratio is, therefore, the reverse of what is unvariably observed in the plasma of leukemic mice where C particles predominate.

A thickening of ER membranes in murine myeloma cells was attributed by de Harven to the assembly of intracisternal virus particles. We observed similar thickening of GER membranes in Friend leukemia cells (FLC) apparently associated with Friend leukemia virus (FLV) assembly. We reinvestigated the problem of GER involvement in FLV assembly using high pressure cryofixed FLC.FLC (745A clone growing in suspension and FF clone growing in monolayer) were immersed in Hexadecene (Fluka, Switzerland) and rapidly frozen in Balzers HPM 010 freezing machine working at 2200 bar. All cells were freeze substituted at -90°C in 2% OsO4 in absolute acetone. Serial sections cut to avoid misinterpretations due to the geometry of sections, were collected on carbon coated 100 mesh grids.
