Murine gammaherpesvirus (MHV-68) transforms cultured cells in vitro.
Human dermal fibroblasts and mouse NIH/3T3 cells acquired the transformed phenotype ('criss-cross' pattern of growth) after infection with ultraviolet-irradiated murine gammaherpesvirus (MuHV-4 strain 68; MHV-68). These cells with changed phenotype could be serially cultured for 5-6 passages (35-40 days), and then they entered into crisis and most of them died. In a small number of cultures, ho...

متن کاملDetection of Transcripts and an Infectious Dose of Murine Gammaherpesvirus 68 in Dermacentor reticulatus Ticks
Background: Murine gammaherpesvirus 68 is assumed to be a natural pathogen of murid rodents. Previous investigations of MHV68 in field-collected Dermacentor reticulatus, Ixodes ricinus, and Haemaphysalis concinna ticks support the idea that ticks acquire the virus from feeding on infected hosts. Based on our previous finding of a live MHV-68 capable to replicate in mammalian cells, we aimed to ...
متن کاملGlycosaminoglycan Interactions in Murine Gammaherpesvirus-68 Infection
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) commonly participate in herpesvirus entry. They are thought to provide a reversible attachment to cells that promotes subsequent receptor binding. Murine gamma-herpesvirus-68 (MHV-68) infection of fibroblasts and epithelial cells is highly GAG-dependent. This is a function of the viral gp150, in that gp150-deficient mutants are much less GAG-dependent than wild-type. H...
متن کاملTick-Borne Transmission of Murine Gammaherpesvirus 68
Herpesviruses are a large group of DNA viruses infecting mainly vertebrates. Murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (MHV68) is often used as a model in studies of the pathogenesis of clinically important human gammaherpesviruses such as Epstein-Barr virus and Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus. This rodent virus appears to be geographically widespread; however, its natural transmission cycle is unknow...
