Abstract
THE RD114 virus isolated from a human rhabdomyosarcoma cell (RD) after passage through a foetal cat1 has been considered a candidate human type-C virus on the basis of a number of immunological and biological properties2–6, which, in the light of experience with other type-C viruses, seemed sufficient for species distinction7,8. The possibility that this virus was representative of a new feline type-C virus family was raised2,3 but, using immunological techniques, no unequivocal evidence of RD114 virus-specific antigens has been found in tissues of humans or cats (unpublished data of R. J. Huebner, R. V. G., H. Charman and W. Parks).
