Abstract
Before returning to the problem of host survival in viral oncolysis, it is necessary to present a brief review of genetically determined resistance to viral infections in mice. The phenomenon has been thoroughly studied in plants (Holmes, 1965). Work on animals has been slow to start, perhaps because of the impression created by similar studies with bacterial infections, which showed that resistance was governed by a multiplicity of genes (Gowen, 1960); present knowledge is summarized in a review by Allison (1965).
