IT was established in 1957 and 1958 that Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) is pathogenic for mammals and induces hæmorrhagic cysts and sarcomas in rats and fibromas in rabbits1–4. These results have been confirmed and expanded by numerous authors, and the pathogenicity of RSV for many other species of mammals has been demonstrated in various laboratories.
