Popis: Numerous hexagonal virus-like particles were detected in, and isolated from, liver and spleen obtained from eight autopsies of human leukemia, diagnosed as different forms of the disease. These particles were purified by a combination of the continuous particle electrophoresis and isopycnic gradient centrifugation. The purified virus-like particles reacted with rabbit antisera produced against the purified particulate antigens of leukemia but not with the extracts obtained from different "normal" human liver and spleen, as examined by the immunodiffusion and immunoferritin techniques. The experimental evidence indicates a biological association of the particulate antigens with human leukemia.
