We have previously demonstrated that vaccination of susceptible strains of mice (of the Mus musculus species) with the attenuated ecotropic Friend murine leukemia virus (F-MuLV) B3 efficiently protects against the early hemolytic anemia and the erythroleukemia induced by a challenge with the virulent F-MuLV 57 through a similar in vivo mechanism of interference to superinfection (A. Corbin and M. Sitbon, J. Virol. 67, 5146-5152, 1993). Vaccination with the heterologous ecotropic Moloney-MuLV (M-MuLV) efficiently protects against the early hemolytic anemia but has a weak protective effect on the F-MuLV 57-induced erythroleukemia. Furthermore, vaccination with the attenuated F-MuLV B3 had only a transient protective effect on M-MuLV-induced thymomas. These different efficiencies of F- and M-MuLV to confer protection in this model of vaccination by interference were mostly due to envelope sequences, indicative of distinct in vivo interference properties of the two ecotropic envelopes.
