Selective host range restriction of goat cells for recombinant murine leukemia virus and feline leukemia virus type A.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We isolated a strain of normal goat fibroblasts which was uniquely selective in that it allowed the replication of xenotropic murine leukemia virus but not polytropic recombinant murine leukemia virus. In addition, feline leukemia virus type A replication was severely diminished in these goat cells, whereas feline leukemia virus type B and feline endogenous RD114-CCC viruses replicated efficiently. No other known cells exhibit this pattern of virus growth restriction. These goat cells allow the study of xenotropic murine leukemia virus in mixtures which also contain recombinant murine leukemia virus and may be helpful in eliminating feline leukemia virus type which often coexists in feline sarcoma or leukemia virus mixtures with other feline leukemia virus types.

Upper respiratory tract diseases (URTD) are common clinical problem in cats worldwide. Feline calicivirus (FCV) and feline herpesvirus type 1 (FHV-1) are the main primary pathogens. Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) and Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) are also among the most common infectious diseases of cats which suppress the immunity. Oropharyngeal and conjunctival swabs and blood samples wer...

The cytolytic reactivity of a complex goat anti-feline leukemia virus (FeLV) antiserum for mouse cells (Eveline) releasing large quantities of Friend leukemia virus (FLV) was analyzed by the sensitive [14C]nicotinamide release microcytotoxicity assay. Whereas this interspecies killing reactivity could be blocked by absorption of the goat anti-FeLV serum with a preparation of disrupted FLV, abso...

We molecularly cloned unintegrated viral DNA of the BALB/c endogenous N-tropic and B-tropic murine leukemia retroviruses and in vitro passaged N-tropic Gross (passage A) murine leukemia retroviruses. Recombinant genomes were constructed in vitro by exchanging homologous restriction enzyme fragments from N- or B-tropic parents and subsequent recloning. Infectious virus was recovered after transf...

A clone of cells derived from a continuous line of cat cells (CCC) spontaneously produced an RNA C-type virus (CCC virus) which did not have the group-specific antigen of the standard strains of feline leukemia viruses but did have that of the RD-114 virus. Single-hit infection of a virus yielding CCC cell with only the feline leukemia virus pseudotype of murine sarcoma virus [MSV(FeLV)] result...
