SUMMARY Comparison of the properties of MH2 reticuloendothelioma virus with known subgroup A, B and C strains of Rous sarcoma virus indicated that it belongs to subgroup C of avian tumour viruses. The Reaseheath R line of chickens was highly resistant to MH2 virus, and tests on crosses between this line and the susceptible Reaseheath W line were consistent with the hypothesis that a single autosomal recessive gene controls resistance to MH2 virus.
