Virus Isolated from Avian Lymphomas Unrelated to Lymphomatosis Virus

Abstract

A virus isolated from material known to contain virulent lymphomatosis virus has been shown to be antigenically unrelated to lymphomatosis and does not cause the disease. Because of its morphology, stability, and confinement to the nucleus, where it occurs in crystalline array, it is similar to the adenoviruses of man, and it is suggested that it be called GAL (Gallus, adeno-like) virus.
