A human rhabdomyosarcoma cell line (RD) was transplanted intracerebrally in fetal kittens in an attempt to repeat the recovery of an RD‐114‐like virus. No virus was recovered from six such transplant tumors. Similar transplant tumors formed by RD cells productively infected prior to transplantation with feline leukemia virus or murine sarcoma virus released viruses that were not detectably altered from the parent viruses.
