	Francis Peyton Rous - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Francis Peyton Rous (October 5, 1879, Texas - February 16, 1970, New York City) was an American pathologist whose discovery of cancer-inducing viruses earned him a share of the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1966.
		Rous grew up in Baltimore and was educated at Johns Hopkins University and at the University of Michigan.
		In 1910 Rous found that sarcomas in hens could be transmitted to fowl of the same inbred stock not only by grafting tumour cells but also by injecting a submicroscopic agent extractable from them; this discovery gave rise to the virus theory of cancer causation.

		Rous next attempted to show that a virus was present as a causative agent in mammalian tumors, but he failed, and it was not until the mid-1930s that he again turned to this line of research.
		Peyton Rous was born in Baltimore, Md., on Oct. 5, 1879.
		Working with this fact, Rous and his laboratory associates were soon able to show that the virus causing these warts sometimes produced cancer.

		Rous returned from Europe to take up a grant from the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research to pursue research on lymphocytes, during the course of which, he caught the eye of Simon Flexner, and earned a call to the staff at Rockefeller.
		The papers of Peyton Rous are a large and diverse assemble of correspondence, manuscripts, and photographs relating to the medical researcher and Nobel laureate who developed the viral theory of the origins of cancer.
		Using mice, however, Rous' initial efforts to assess whether tumors could be transmitted in mammals were unavailing until in 1932, his friend and Rockefeller colleague, Richard Shope, asked Rous to investigate the benign papillomas commonly found in wild rabbits which were shown to be transmissible by cell-free extracts.

		This pioneering work by Francis Peyton Rous in the United States was recognized more than 50 years later with the 1972 Nobel Prize that he shared with Howard Temin and David Baltimore, who characterized the molecular biology of retroviruses, first detected in Rous's experiments.
		William A. Blattner, M.D. The concept that viruses cause human cancer dates back to the first decade of the 20th century, when experiments on animals showed that tumors could be induced in chickens by an agent that could pass through a filter.
		Over the last decade, the new tools of molecular biology have led to profound discoveries about the role of viruses in human cancer and the mechanisms of disease causation.

		Fitzgeoffreyâs poems are studded with such distinguished Cornish surnames as Carew, Moyle, Rous, Trefusis, and Trelawny, and it seems natural to assume that he was accustomed to moving in these circles even before encountering scions of such families at Oxford.
