Type

  • Topical Descriptor

Broader concept

Entry terms

  • MCF Virus
  • MCF Viruses
  • Mink cell focus inducing virus
  • Mink cell focus-inducing virus
  • Viruses, MCF
  • Virus, MCF

Note

  • infection: coordinate IM with RETROVIRIDAE INFECTIONS (IM) + TUMOR VIRUS INFECTIONS (IM); add also LEUKEMIA, EXPERIMENTAL (IM), or LEUKEMIA (IM) (for spontaneous leukemia), or ERYTHROLEUKEMIA (IM) if pertinent

Scope note

  • Strains of MURINE LEUKEMIA VIRUS discovered in 1976 by Hartley, Wolford, Old, and Rowe and so named because the viruses originally isolated had the capacity to transform cell foci in mink cell cultures. MCF viruses are generated by recombination with ecotropic murine leukemia viruses including AKR, Friend, Moloney, and Rauscher, causing ERYTHROLEUKEMIA and severe anemia in mice.

History note

  • 91(86); was see under MOUSE LEUKEMIA VIRUSES 1986-90
