abstract：:Mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) is a nonacute transforming retrovirus that causes mammary tumors in susceptible strains of mice. Upon milk-borne transmission, B cells in the gut become infected and subsequently present a virus-encoded superantigen to cognate T cells. These T cells become activated and, in turn, stimu...
