The nature of Moloney murine leukemia virus (M-MuLV) infection after a subcutaneous (s.c.) inoculation was studied. We have previously shown that an enhancer variant of M-MuLV, Mo+PyF101 M-MuLV, is poorly leukemogenic when used to inoculate mice s.c., but not when inoculated intraperitoneally. This attenuation of leukemogenesis correlated with an inability of Mo+PyF101 M-MuLV to establish infection in the bone marrow of mice at early times postinfection. These results suggested that a cell type(s) is infected in the skin by wild-type but not Mo+PyF101 M-MuLV after s.c. inoculation and that this infection is important for the delivery of infection to the bone marrow, as well as for efficient leukemogenesis. To determine the nature of the cell types infected by M-MuLV and Mo+PyF101 M-MuLV in the skin after a s.c. inoculation, immunohistochemistry with an anti-M-MuLV CA antibody was performed. Cells of developing hair follicles, specifically cells of the outer root sheath (ORS), were extensively infected by M-MuLV after s.c. inoculation. The Mo+PyF101 M-MuLV variant also infected cells of the ORS but the level of infection was lower. By Western blot analysis, the level of infection in skin by Mo+PyF101 M-MuLV was approximately 4- to 10-fold less than that of wild-type M-MuLV. Similar results were seen when a mouse keratinocyte line was infected in vitro with both viruses. Cells of the ORS are a primary target of infection in vivo, since a replication defective M-MuLV-based vector expressing beta-galactosidase also infected these cells after a s.c. inoculation.
