Application of an immunoprecipitation procedure to the study of SV40 tumor antigen interaction with mouse genomic DNA sequences.

Simian Virus 40 (SV40) large T antigen is a DNA binding protein with high affinity for segments of the viral genome. To find out whether T antigen also binds to sequences of genomic cellular DNA we mixed T antigen and SAU 3 A restricted mouse DNA under stringent DNA binding conditions. Resulting protein-DNA complexes were immunoprecipitated using T antigen specific monoclonal or polyclonal anti...

Cellular Morphology and Immunologic Properties of Escherichia coli Treated With Antimicrobial Antisense Peptide Nucleic Acid

  Background & Objectives: Antisense peptide nucleic acids (PNA) that target growth essential genes show potent bactericidal properties without cell lysis. We considered the possibility that whether PNA treatment influence the bacteria total nucleic acids content and apply approach to develop a new delivery system to Dendritic cells (DCs). DCs are the most potent antigen presenting cells in th...

Mapping initiation sites of DNA replication in vivo using polymerase chain reaction amplification of nascent strand segments.

We describe a sensitive method for mapping replication initiation sites near regions of sequenced genomic DNA in vivo. It is based on selective amplification of sets of segments in purified nascent DNA strands and subsequent determination of the lengths of these strands required to include each member of the set. We demonstrate the ability of this method to accurately map a well-defined origin,...

On the functional roles of simian virus 40 large and small T-antigen in the induction of a mitotic host response.

The early gene of wild-type (wt) SV40 specifies two related proteins, referred to as large (Mr 88,000) and small (Mr 19,000) T-antigen. Infection with wt SV40 of Go/G1-arrested monkey kidney and CV-1 cell cultures induced in virtually 100% of the cells T-antigen synthesis, followed by a mitotic reaction and the production of SV40 DNA. Parallel cultures were infected with SV40 deletion mutants t...

Modulation of radiation induced changes in nucleic acid content of liver of Swiss albino mouse by Tinospora cordifolia (Miers)

Background: Radiotherapy is the main modality of cancer treatment. There are many chemical radioprotectors which unfortunately have lethal or toxic effect. Therefore the search is on to find out natural plant based radioprotectors. A well known medicinal plant,which is more acceptable to the body, Tinospora cordifolia, was tested in animal tissues against gamma radiations. Radioprotectiv...

Interaction between the N-terminus of human topoisomerase I and SV40 large T antigen.

We have attempted to identify human topoisomerase I-binding proteins in order to gain information regarding the cellular roles of this protein and the cytotoxic mechanisms of the anticancer drug camptothecin, which specifically targets topoisomerase I. In the course of this work we identified an interaction between the N-terminus of human topoisomerase I and the SV40 T antigen that is detectabl...
