RESUMO

Myeloproliferative sarcoma virus (MPSV) causes a generalized stem cell leukemia with erythroid and myeloid hyperplasia in adult mice. MPSV also transforms fibroblasts. Mice congenic for the Fv-2 locus showed marked differences in susceptibility to MPSV according to the Fv-2 genotype. MPSV was injected into C57BL/6 Fvs and C57BL/6 Fv-2r mice congenic except for the Fv-2 locus. C57BL/6 mice with the Fvs genotype were much more susceptible to MPSV than were those with the Fvr genotype. Both DDD Fv-2r mice congenic with DDD Fv-2s mice except for the Fv-2 locus and DDD Fv-2s mice, however, were sensitive to spleen focus formation by MPSV. These data indicate that at least one additional resistance locus to MPSV is present in C57BL/6 mice but not in DDD mice. Both the Fv-2 locus and the putative MSPV resistance locus (loci) Mpsvr appear to be epistatic to either of the sensitivity loci. Fibroblast focus formation by MPSV was obtained well in C57BL/6 Fv-2r and C57BL/6 Fvs fibroblasts, indicating that the genes for MPSV resistance (Fv-2r and Mpsvr) were not operating in fibroblast cells. A model is proposed which may account for the differences in response of genetically different mice to MPSV and Friend spleen focus-forming virus.
