Type C Viruses in the Pancreas of Normal C57BL Mice

Division of Experimental Oncology A, Istituto Nazionale per lo Studio e la Cura dei Tumori, 20133 Milano, Italy

Viral particles morphologically identical to type C viruses were found to be budding in large numbers from the membranes of intracytoplasmic vacuoles and of the endoplasmic reticulum of pancreatic acinar cells of untreated, normal C57BL mice more than 3 weeks old. In the thymus of the same animals and in the pancreas and thymus of newborn or 12-day-old mice, few particles were seen. No viral particles were observed in the pancreas of normal C3Hf and AKR mice.
