| Rauscher leukaemia virus | An RNA retrovirus associated with leukaemia in rodents; similar to Friend virus. Synonym: Rauscher's virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| moloney leukaemia virus | A murine virus arising during the propagation of s37 mouse sarcoma, and causing lymphoid leukaemia in mice. It also infects rats and newborn hamsters and is apparently transmitted vertically to embryos in utero and through mother's milk. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Moloney murine leukaemia virus | <molecular biology, virology> Replication competent retrovirus (Oncovirinae) that causes leukaemia in mice, isolated by Moloney from cell free extracts made from a transplantable mouse sarcoma. (18 Nov 1997) |
| murine leukaemia virus | <virology> A group of type C retroviruses infecting mice and causing in some strains lymphatic leukaemia after a long latent period. Nearly all are replication competemt and v onc minus. See: Abelson leukaemia virus. (18 Nov 1997) |
| human T-cell leukaemia virus | <virology> One of a group of retroviruses which causes the disease T-cell leukaemia in humans. T-cell leukaemia is a type of the cancer leukaemia where the body uncontrollably produces large amounts of abnormal (nonworking) T lymphocytes. (09 Oct 1997) |
| human T-cell lymphoma/leukaemia virus | A group of viruses (subfamily Oncovirinae, family Retroviridae) that are lymphotropic with a selective affinity for the helper/inducer cell subset of T lymphocytes and that are associated with adult T-cell leukaemia and lymphoma. Synonym: human T-cell lymphotropic virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Swiss mouse leukaemia virus | A murine leukaemia virus producing leukaemia of the reticulum-cell type with massive infiltration of liver, spleen, and bone marrow. It infects dba/2 and swiss mice. (12 Dec 1998) |
| T-cell leukaemia virus | human T-lymphotropic virus |
| feline leukaemia-sarcoma virus complex | Viruses from cats that induce transmissible leukaemia or transmissible fibrosarcoma in kittens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| feline leukaemia virus | A retrovirus of the Oncornovirinae subfamily causing many proliferative (neoplastic) and degenerative (blastopenic) diseases in domestic cats, including lymphosarcoma, thymic atrophy, immune complex glomerulonephritis, foetal abortions and resorptions, and several myeloproliferative and myelodegenerative conditions; it also causes immunosuppression in infected cats. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Friend leukaemia virus | A murine leukaemia virus producing leukaemia of the reticulum-cell type with massive infiltration of liver, spleen, and bone marrow. It infects dba/2 and swiss mice. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Friend murine leukaemia virus | <virology> Murine leukaemia virus isolated by Charlotte Friend in 1956 whilst attempting to transmit the Erlich ascites tumour by cell free extracts. Causes an unusual erythroblastosis like leukaemia, in which anaemia is accompanied by large numbers of nucleated red cells in blood. does not carry a host derived oncogene, but seems to induce tumours by proviral insertion into specific regions of host genome. (18 Nov 1997) |
| leukaemia virus, bovine | The type species of HTLV-blv viruses that causes a form of bovine lymphosarcoma (enzootic bovine leukosis) or persistent lymphocytosis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| leukaemia virus, feline | A species of mammalian type c retrovirus (retroviruses type c, mammalian) causing leukaemia, lymphosarcoma, immune deficiency, or other degenerative diseases in cats. Several cellular oncogenes confer on felv the ability to induce sarcomas (see also sarcoma virus, feline). (12 Dec 1998) |
| leukaemia virus, gibbon ape | A species of mammalian type c retrovirus (retroviruses type c, mammalian) causing leukaemia in the gibbon ape. Natural transmission is by contact. (12 Dec 1998) |
