Abstract:
:Minor lymphocyte stimulating (Mls) antigens have profound effects on the murine immune system and have been very important for our current understanding of immune tolerance. It has recently been discovered that these Mls antigens are encoded in an open reading frame located in the 3' long terminal repeat of endogenous and infectious mouse mammary tumor viruses (MMTV). In this review we will discuss the effects of a novel infectious MMTV with properties of Mls-1a on the neonatal and adult immune system in comparison to the effects of endogenous Mtv-7 (Mls-1a).
