No evidence of Mason-Pfizer monkey virus in human tissues or sera; leaves open other etiologies for breast cancer and leukemias.
Observational (n=223)
There is no evidence of Mason-Pfizer monkey virus p25 antigen or antibodies in the tested human tissues and sera, including those from patients with breast cancer and leukemias.
Charman et al. (1977) conducted an observational in Breast cancer, hematologic malignancies, ALS, SLE (n=223). Mason-Pfizer monkey virus (MPMV) p25 antigen and antibody detection was evaluated on Presence of MPMV p25 antigen or antibodies. Radioimmunoassay failed to detect Mason-Pfizer monkey virus p25 antigen in 21 human tissues and found no evidence of specific antibodies in 202 human sera or plasma specimens.
