Immunochemical measurement of double-stranded RNA of uninfected and arbovirus-infected mammalian cells.
A quantitative complement fixation assay which specifically measures double-stranded RNA has been used to study this RNA extracted from uninfected and arbovirus-infected cells. The double-straned RNA of the uninfected BHK-21 cells sedimented in the 12S region in sucrose gradients. The double-stranded RNA of Sinbis virus-infected cells, as measured immunochemically, included a predominant peak a...
متن کاملLong double stranded RNA is present in scrapie infected cells and tissues
Despite decades of research efforts, the nature of the infectious agent causing scrapie and other Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSE) remains an enigma. The protein-only prion hypothesis posits that an abnormal conformer of a host protein is the infectious agent. Virus and virino theories include host-independent nucleic acids in the genome of the infectious agent, in addition to th...
متن کاملPoliovirus single-stranded RNA and double-stranded RNA: differential infectivity in enucleate cells.
The ability of poliovirus virion RNA and double-stranded RNA (replicative form) to replicate in enucleate mouse L cells was investigated. Virion RNA replicated successfully in the absence of the cell nucleus, whereas replicative form infection did not produce any detectable progeny in enucleate cells. The results provide direct evidence of a nuclear requirement early in the infection initiated ...
متن کاملInactivation of the type I interferon pathway reveals long double‐stranded RNA‐mediated RNA interference in mammalian cells
RNA interference (RNAi) elicited by long double-stranded (ds) or base-paired viral RNA constitutes the major mechanism of antiviral defence in plants and invertebrates. In contrast, it is controversial whether it acts in chordates. Rather, in vertebrates, viral RNAs induce a distinct defence system known as the interferon (IFN) response. Here, we tested the possibility that the IFN response mas...
متن کاملMDA5 detects the double-stranded RNA replicative form in picornavirus-infected cells.
RIG-I and MDA5 are cytosolic RNA sensors that play a critical role in innate antiviral responses. Major advances have been made in identifying RIG-I ligands, but our knowledge of the ligands for MDA5 remains restricted to data from transfection experiments mostly using poly(I:C), a synthetic dsRNA mimic. Here, we dissected the IFN-α/β-stimulatory activity of different viral RNA species produced...
