Abstract
The genetics of late appearing MSV tumors showing a progressive growth pattern in AKR mice was investigated. The late MSV tumor response in F1 hybrids depended on the genetic background of the non-AKR parent. Within the 4-month observation period following virus injection, (CBA X AKR) F1, (DBA/2 X AKR)F1, and (NIH X AKR)F1 developed progressing MSV tumors, which exhibited latency and growth behavior comparable to that seen in AKR mice, (BALB X AKR)F1, (B6 X AKR)F1, and (B10br x akr)f1 mice did not show any late MSV tumors. In contrast to early regressing M-MSV tumors, whose development is independent of Fv-1 genotype, late MSV tumor progression is largely a function of this gene, since all late tumors which appeared in (B10BR x AKR) x AKR were observed in Fv-1n homozygous mice, H-2k halotype is a further factor in the occurrence of late MSV tumors, at least in (B6 x AKR) x AKR mice. In crosses of AKR with Fv-1 compatible mice, tumor appearance was strongly associated with inheritance of AKR-Mulv, and MSV recovered from late tumors of first back-cross animals appeared to be a new pseudotype with the endogenous AKR-MuLV. It is suggested that the host genetic control in both early and late MSV tumors is exerted mainly on the helper component of the leukemia-sarcoma complex
