Type C RNA Tumor Viruses as Determinants of Chemical Carcinogenesis: Effects of Sequence of Treatment

Paul J. Price 1, William A. Suk 1, and Aaron E. Freeman 1

Fischer rat embryo cells were treated with 3-methylcholanthrene before or after inoculation with Rauscher murine leukemia virus. Transformation was not observed in untreated control cultures, cultures given virus or 3-methyl-cholanthrene alone, or cultures treated first with 3-methylcholanthrene followed by inoculation with the virus after removal of the chemical. Transformation was dependent upon the presence of Rauscher murine leukemia virus at the time of chemical treatment.
