This week at the University of Minnesota, two top-level professors-Dr. Robert G. Green, expert in bacteriology and immunology, and Dr. John J. Bittner, geneticist and cancer biologist-nailed up an important signpost in medicine's fight against cancer. They reported that they had discovered: 1) a filterable virus which definitely causes breast cancer in mice; 2) an anti-cancer serum which kills the mouse cancer cells, in test tubes...
Their inquiry was begun ten years ago by Dr. Bittner at the Jackson Memorial Laboratory, Bar Harbor, Me. There Dr. Bittner discovered that a cancerous agent, which he called a milk factor, could be transmitted by cancerous mothers to young mice in nursing. Dr. Bittner now believes that the milk factor is a virus, fitting a virus' classic descriptions: 1) it grows only in living cells; 2) it is too small to be seen through a microscope; 3) when it is injected into animal tissues, immune agents are formed by the combination...
...White Powder. Working over four years with 104,275 mice, Drs. Green & Bittner developed a breed in which the cancer strain was particularly high. Bits of cancer tissue from infected high-strain mice were sliced, put in gravity-defying centrifuges. The materials thus separated from malignant cancer cells were put back in the centrifuge for a second whirl. What was left was a whitish, dustlike powder-grim carrier of the virus...
