Abstract

During the course of serial transplantations of polyomavirus-induced C3H-Bittner salivary gland epitheliomas in F1-hybrid mice, three tumor sublines were found which gave rise to T-cell lymphomas of host origin. The lymphomas resembled spontaneous AKR/J thymic lymphomas in their expression of lymphoid differentiation antigens, and they may represent sequential stages in the differentiation of immature T lymphocytes. We found no evidence that polyomavirus directly induced the lymphomas, rather, the lymphomagenic events paralleled those which occur in spontaneous AKR/J thymic lymphomas.
