lower incidences and with increasingly longer latency periods to leukemia death (7). The incidence of leukemia in the origi nal, virus-infected females (injected at birth) was low (35%) with an average latency period of 240 days. The incidence of leukemia in 4 successive generations dropped from 22% to 4%, and the latency periods increased from 372 to 462 days. The incidence of Friend virus dis...
