Transformation of Hamster Embryo Fibroblasts by Herpes Simplex Viruses

چکیده

Hamster embryo fibroblast cells can be transformed after infection by ultraviolet light-irradiated herpes simplex viruses type 1 (HSV-1) or type 2 (HSV-2). Two ofl2 strains of HSV-1 and 7 of 15 strains of HSV-2 induced cell transformation. Transformed cells from two strains of HSV-2 and one strain of HSV-1 have been tested for oncogenicity in newborn Syrian hamsters. One cell line transformed by HSV-2 strain 333 was found to be oncogenic. The remaining two cell lines were not oncogenic. Herpesvirus antigens were found in the cytoplasm and on the surface of the transformed cells. Neutralizing antibodies were produced in hamsters developing tumors after the injection of the HSV-2-transformed cells. Weanling ham sters that were preimmunized by injection of HSV-1 or HSV-2 did not develop transplantation immunity to the HSV-2-transformed cells as a result of this preimmunization. HSV-2-transformed cells metastasized after injection into hamsters. The number of métastaseswas not inhibited by HSV-1 or HSV-2 immunization but was actually enhanced. Immunization of hamsters with simian virus 40 inhibited métastasesbut did not reduce the rate of primary tumor development.

Properties of hamster embryo fibroblasts transformed in vitro after exposure to ultraviolet-irradiated herpes simplex virus type 2.

An in vitro method which led to the transformation of hamster embryo fibroblasts after exposure to herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) inactivated with ultraviolet irradiation is described. The transformed cells (333-8-9) produced tumors when inoculated into newborn Syrian hamsters but not when injected into weanling Syrian hamsters of the same LSH inbred strain. However, after one in vivo pass...

Ultrastructural Characterization of Hamster Cells Transformed Following Exposure to Ultraviolet-irradiated Herpes Simplex Virus Type 21

Herpes simplex virus type 2 rendered defective by ultraviolet irradiation transformed hamster embryo fibroblasts in vitro. When the transformed cells were inoculated into newborn hamsters, solid tumors developed and cell cultures were established. The virus-transformed cells, the solid tumors, and the tumor cell cultures were examined by electron microscopy. The transformed cultures and tumors ...

In Vitro Transformation of Hamster Cells by Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2 from Human Prostatic Cancer Cells1

A cell-associated herpes simplex virus type 2 found in a human prostatic carcinoma induced in vitro transformation of hamster embryo cells. The transformed cells (YW-74) have been shown to be hamster cells by karyotype analysis. Their epithelial morphology and growth pattern, which are different from the parental cell, have remained stable through cell passages. The presence of herpesvirus anti...
