Abstract

The persistent controversy surrounding possible association of type C viruses with human malignancies is the result of a number of not always compatible observations in many laboratories. Thus, while a number of reports of virus-like particles (occasionally with associated infectivity), reverse transcriptase, virus-like RNA, viral proteins, and proviral DNA sequences in human tissues exist [1], the results must be weighed in relation to negative findings by other investigators seeking similar evidence [2].
