Popis: THE Rauscher leukaemia virus (RLV) induces a rapidly developing fatal erythroblastosis in mice, characterized by splenomegaly and a highly increased number of nucleated red cells in the peripheral blood1. The first sign of action of the virus is the production of erythroblast foci in the spleen within a week2. A linear dose-response relationship for virus and number of foci has been observed in several mouse strains, suggesting that a colony can be initiated by a single infective unit2.
