Abstract
BECAUSE the H1 and RV2 viruses are somewhat similar in size to members of the oncogenic papova group, there has been considerable speculation about whether they, too, might have an oncogenic property. Toolan1 first reported that H-1 virus had not produced tumours in a small group of aged “mongoloid-type” hamsters injected at birth with H-1. Later, Kilham and Maloney3 noted that neoplasms had not been found in any of the species inoculated with RV when newborn, except for a few benign odontogenic tumours.
