Low malignancy of Rous sarcoma cells as evidenced by poor transplantability in turkeys
Abstract:
Homologous and isologous transfers of Rous sarcoma cells in turkeys indicate that growth of the implanted cells contributes little, if at all, to the formation of these neoplasms. Infection of normal host cells by virus appears to be, at least in this species, the major factor in the induction and progressive growth of Rous sarcomas.

Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer
Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.
