Cell Line derived from Balb/3T3 that is Transformed by Murine Leukaemia Virus : a Focus Assay for Leukaemia Virus

Nature New Biology volume 239, pages 164–166 (1972)Cite this article

Abstract

Balb/3T3 derived cell line UC1-B transforms on MuLV infection, forming foci of transformants which can be used as an assay for MuLV. MuLV virus type C is produced as well as bizarre forms of uncertain origin.
