Avian lymphoid leukosis: Virus-like particles in kidney Cells

Avian Leukosis Virus

Ultrastructural studies of chick embryo cells morphological ly altered by strain MC29 avian leukosis virus revealed marked and characteristic differences from normal cells and cells al tered by infection with other avian tumor viruses. Such differ ences were manifest in part in the cytoplasm by high content of free ribosomes, poorly developed rough endoplasmic reticu lum, frequent fat droplets,...

The epidemiology of avian lymphoid leukosis.

Avian lymphoid leukosis can be induced by lymphoid leukosis viruses belonging to Subgroups A, B, C, and D. The endogenous virus of the chicken (Rous-associated virus type 0) belongs to Subgroup E and has little, if any, potential for inducing lymphoid leukosis. Nearly all chicken flocks are infected with Subgroup A lymphoid leukosis virus. This virus can be transmitted from dam to offspring or ...

Infection and Tumor Formation in Chickens By Avian Leukosis Virus

Lymphoid leukosis in chickens is a disease which arises from the result of complicated interaction between avian leukosis virus (ALV) as a pathogenic organism and chicken as a host. This report is intended to outline our present knowledge about genetic resistance of chickens in lymphoid leukosis. The defense of host in infectious disease could be considered dividing it into two: one as a workin...

A novel subgroup of exogenous avian leukosis virus in chickens.

An avian leukosis virus with a wide host range belonging to a new subgroup for chickens was isolated from meat-type chicken lines. The virus, of which HPRS-103 strain is the prototype, was of low oncogenicity in chickens but appeared to behave like an exogenous leukosis virus. Neutralizing antibodies to the virus were found in three of five meat-type chicken lines, but not in seven layer lines....
