By immunization of a rabbit with purified gs-antigen from mouse leukemia virus (MLV) a potent antiserum (R-gs-serum) was obtained, which reacts specifically with gs-antigen of MLV.In cat leukemia virus (KLV) two types of antigens, probably both group specific, could be demonstrated with anti-KLV-sera by Ouchterlony test. One of these was shown with MLV-sera to be identical with a MLV-gs-antigen component. This antigen occurring in both viruses is called gsinterspecies (interspec.) antigen.R-gs-serum allowed to detect gs-interspec. antigen also by the more sensitive CF-test. [Lispa (leukemia virus interspec. antigen) CF-test]. Preliminary experiments with this test indicated that bovine leukosis as well as human cancer cells can produce an agent in tissue culture which is serologically related to MLV.

Friend leukemia virus (FLV) erythroleukemic cells cultured in medium containing FLV-immune serum from dormant FLV-infected mice undergo modulation of FLV cell surface antigens. Modulation was determined by an increased resistance to FLV antibody-mediated complement-dependent lysis and was associated temporally with the capping of FLV-immune complexes at the cell surface. Modulated cells regained their susceptibility to FLV antibody-mediated complement-dependent lysis when transferred to medium containing normal mouse serum. After 48 h of culture in FLV-immune serum, 26% of the FLV erythroleukemic cells were devoid of FLV cell surface antigens as demonstrated by immunofluoresence. Antigenic modulation occurred to a greater extent in cells maintained in logarithmic growth than in cells in GO or resting phase. FLV-antigenic modulation is discussed as a possible mechanism by which antibody induces and maintains FLV-transformed cells in a dormant state.
