Protective effect of immunization with nonviral antigens against Friend leukemia virus in mice.

abstract：:The evolutionary transition from single cells toward multicellular forms of life represents one of the major transitions in the evolution of complex organisms. In this transition, single autonomously reproducing cells became parts of larger reproducing entities that eventually constituted a new unit of selection. The ...
