Immunodiffusion analysis of the PMF virus which was detected in malignant permanent human cell lines revealed positive reactions with antisera against the Mason-Pfizer monkey virus (MPMV). No cross-reactivity was demonstrated with murine leukemia virus (MuLV), rat leukemia virus (RaLV), hamster leukemia virus (HaLV), feline leukemia virus (FeLV), simian (woolly monkey) sarcoma virus (SSV-1) and mouse mammary tumor virus (MTV). The cross-reactive antigens of the PMF virus and the MPMV are considered as evidence for the human origin of the PMF virus.
