The immunological properties of the surface of chick embryo cells infected with strain MC29 avian leukosis virus

چکیده
The immunological properties of the surface of chick embryo cells infected with strain MC29 avian leukosis virus were investigated by immune electron microscopy in con junction with antiviral and anticellular immune sera. When samples were taken at sequential times after infection, it was found that cells stained strongly for viral antigen very early after infection. Staining reached a minimum 6 to 12 hr after infection and then increased to maximum at 15 hr after infection, remaining at this level at later times. Anticellular immune sera showed the presence of a distinct antigen or antigens which appeared concurrently with morphological alteration of the infected chick cells. This antigen was cross-reactive on identical to an antigen appearing on the surface of chick embryo cells transformed by the Schmidt Ruppin strain of Rous sarcoma virus.

In vitro chick embryo cell response to strain MC29 avian leukosis virus.
Strain MC29 avian leukosis (myelocytomatosis) virus induced infection, elaboration of virus, and morphological alteration in chick embryo cells in vitro. Virus liberation began within 18 hr, morphological change was detectable at about 40 hr, and the cultures could be completely altered within 80 hr after infection. Altered cells were about half the volume and grew at approximately twice the ra...
متن کاملInfluence of toyocamycin on RNA synthesis in chick embryo cells noninfected and infected with strain MC29 avian leukosis virus.
Earlier studies showed that infection of chick embryo cells (CEC) by strain MC29 avian leukosis virus resulted in virus elaboration and a rapid, uniform morphologic alteration of the cells. No marked difference in the RNA synthesis patterns of infected and noninfected cells could be shown by the use of radioisotope-labeled RNA precursors and density gradient analysis. Treatment of the cultures ...

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,...

Among the large variety of neoplasms of other tissues previously described, there occurred a high incidence of primary growths of the liver. Pathomorphol...

A colony of transformed cells was isolated from chick-embryo cells infected with a stock of nondefective Schmidt-Ruppin strain of Rous sarcoma virus. The virus recovered from this colony was a stable defective mutant very similar to the Bryan strain of Rous sarcoma virus in the following characteristics: (i) noninfectiousness of virus particles released from transformed cells that lack helper f...
