To explore the role of endogenous retroviruses in radiation-induced leukemogenesis in the mouse, we have examined virus-encoded proteins in nine BALB/c leukemias by pulse-chase labeling procedures and serological typing with monospecific and monoclonal antibodies. The major gag precursor protein, Pr65 gag, was observed in all cases, but only three leukemias expressed detectable amounts of the glycosylated gag species, gP95 gag, or its precursor, Pr75 gag. No evidence was found for synthesis of gag-host fusion proteins. None of the leukemias released infectious xenotropic or dualtropic virus, but all nine expressed at least one env protein with xenotropic properties. In two instances a monoclonal antibody, 35 56, which is specific for the MuLV G IX antigen, displayed a distinctive reactivity with this class of env protein, although this antibody is unreactive with replicating xenotropic viruses. An ecotropic/xenotropic recombinant env protein with the same 35 56 phenotype was observed in a leukemia induced by a strongly leukemogenic virus isolated from a BALB/c radiation leukemia.
