Preferred Label : spleen focus-forming viruses;
MeSH definition : Strains of MURINE LEUKEMIA VIRUS that are replication-defective and rapidly transforming.
The envelope gene plays an essential role in initiating erythroleukemia (LEUKEMIA,
ERYTHROBLASTIC, ACUTE), manifested by splenic foci, SPLENOMEGALY, and POLYCYTHEMIA.
Spleen focus-forming viruses are generated by recombination with endogenous retroviral
sequences.;
