	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.

		Moreover, Rous discovered a third chicken tumor, transmissible by filtrate, markedly different in properties from the two previously de- scribed: "The findings with the three tumor-producing agents have a striking similarity and it is difficult to avoid the con- clusion that the three are of one class, whatever that class may be....
		Peyton Rous found no demonstrable antibodies in rabbits with- out papillomas or in those with tar papillomas or Brown-Pierce tumors: these findings "speak decisively against the possibility that these growths are caused by viruses antigenically related to the one causing papillomas.

	Peyton Rous Papers, American Philosophical Society
		A pathologist, Francis Peyton Rous, was co-recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine in 1966 for his discovery of carcinogenic viruses.
		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.

		In 1911, an American physician, Francis Peyton Rous, was studying chickens that had a tumor of the connective tissues called a sarcoma.
		Rous decided to test the tumor for virus content, and he mashed up a section of tissue and passed it through a bacterial filter.
		Rous did not refer to the infecting material as a virus, but others gradually did, and for many decades thereafter, the "Rous sarcoma virus" remained as a clear-cut example of a cancer-causing virus.

	Cancer - Introduction to the Module
		Nevertheless, the 30-year-old Peyton Rous was able to show that cell-free extracts from one chicken were able to cause the formation of the same type of tumor when injected into a second chicken.
		Rous’ tumor extracts had been passed through a filter with pores so small that even bacteria were excluded.
		Rous was later able to demonstrate that other types of chicken tumors could also be spread by their own, unique “filterable agents,” and that each would faithfully produce its original type of tumor (bone, cartilage, blood vessel) when injected into healthy animals.

		Peyton Rous was born in Baltimore, Md., on Oct. 5, 1879.
		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.
		In the interim he developed methods of cultivating cancer viruses in test tubes and in chick embryos, did research in liver and gallbladder physiology, and was a principal figure in the development of blood banks.

		Peyton Rous discovered the viral etiology of a chicken sarcoma in 1911 through his interest in tumor tr~n~nl~nt~hilirv to 1, ~ - ~ YE new nosts oy a nitrate.
		These findings seem to have been for Rous the decisive argument for the validity of his conclusions concerning the chicken tumors, since in a mammal cancer could also be transmitted by a virus.
		Peyton Rous found no demonstrable antibodies in rabbits without papillomas or in those with tar papillomas or Brown-Pierce tumors: these findings "speak decisively against the possibility that these growths are caused by viruses antigenically related to the one causing papillomas.

	The Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV)
		In 1911, Peyton Rous discovered that cancer could be induced in healthy chickens by injecting them with a cell-free extract of the tumor of a sick chicken.
		In 1956, 55 years after his discovery of RSV, Peyton Rous was awarded a Nobel Prize in recognition of the key role that the virus has played in unlocking the secrets of cancer.
		Rous was 87 at the time and fortunate to have lived to see his work honored.

	AEGiS-UPI: Retroviruses are 'Unique in Biology'
		LOS ANGELES - In 1910, at what is now New York's Rockefeller University, medical researcher Peyton Rous found out something special about chickens and a certain form of cancer.
		When he inoculated unaffected members of his laboratory flock with the filtered residue of tumors from diseased chickens, cancers identical to the malignancies of the afflicted birds developed.
		Rous later described the first link between cancer and a virus, but what he had found was the first retrovirus, one in a complicated group of microbes now linked to cancer and acquired immune deficiency syndrome.
