Abstract
Several studies have suggested that relationship exists between mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) and human breast cancer (1–16). Antibodies that interact with MMTV have been identified in sera of 20% to 60% of patients with breast cancer (3–11). Despite the facts pointing to the existence of the relationship between MMTV and human breast cancer, contradicting results have been described (17).
