Early syncytium formation by bovine leukemia virus.
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) from either persistently infected bat cells or fetal lamb kidney cells induced rapid syncytium formation in F81 indicator cells. Distinct syncytia were seen within 2 h after inoculation of cells with highly concentrated (500-fold) cell-free BLV preparations and within 4 to 8 h when unconcentrated cell-free BLV preparations were used. Indicator cell densities of 1 x 1...
متن کاملPlaque formation with simian virus 40: enhancement by dimethyl sulfoxide.
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) added to agar overlays during plaque assays of simian virus 40 (SV40) in CV1 monkey cells increases the plaque size and number and enables plaques to be read several days earlier than usual. DMSO appears to act during development of plaques, perhaps by causing cell lysis at smaller burst sizes in the presence of near-lethal DMSO concentrations. It does not act synergis...

Primary bovine embryonic kidney cells frozen with dimethyl sulfoxide can be recultured with satisfactory results.
متن کاملStabilization of enveloped viruses by dimethyl sulfoxide.
In a recent review on the storage of animal viruses at subzero temperatures (8), it was pointed out that enveloped viruses present special problems. For example, herpesvirus even at -90 C loses infectivity after prolonged storage and at -20 C is even more labile than at 4 C. Repeated freezings and thawings of this virus result in marked loss in activity. Members of the herpesvirus group can be ...
متن کاملAlteration of myoblast phenotype by dimethyl sulfoxide.
Application of dimethyl sulfoxide to proliferating L8 myoblasts (an established cell line of rat skeletal muscle) for 72 hr completely prevented fusion and induction of creatine phosphokinase (EC 2.7.3.2) activity (an indicator of muscle differentiation). The growth pattern changed from the usual sheets of randomly oriented cells to flattened, whorled monolayers of elongated fibroblast-like cel...
