| tumour viruses, murine | Species of mammalian type c retroviruses (retroviruses type c, mammalian) that cause solid tumours or leukaemias in mice. (12 Dec 1998) |
| typhus, murine | An acute infectious disease with fever, headache, and rash, all quite similar to, but milder than, epidemic typhus, caused by a related microoganism, rickettsia typhi (mooseri), transmitted to humans by rat fleas (xenopsylla cheopis). The animal reservoir includes rats, mice and other rodents. Murine typhus occurs sporadically worldwide but is more prevalent in congested rat-infested urban areas. Also known as endemic typhus, rat-flea typhus, and urban typhus of malaya. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Friend murine erythroleukaemia cell | <cell culture> Lines of mouse erythroblasts transformed by the Friend virus, that can be induced to differentiate terminally, producing haemoglobin, by various agents such as dimethyl sulphoxide. (18 Nov 1997) |
| 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 viruses, murine | Species of mammalian type c retroviruses (retroviruses type c, mammalian) producing leukaemia in mice. It is commonly induced by injecting filtrates of propagable tumours into newborn mice. The gross strain (gross virus) occurs spontaneously in inbred mice, but none of the other strains occurs naturally. (12 Dec 1998) |
