Macromolecular content of inclusions produced by a canine adenovirus.

چکیده
Early inclusions induced by a canine adenovirus in a canine cell line, appearing before the formation of infectious virus particles, were purified by differential centrifugation in sucrose followed by CsCl density gradient centrifugation. Chemical analysis of these inclusions revealed that they contained deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), ribonucleic acid, and protein. On the basis of density gradient centrifugation, the DNA extracted from the inclusions was found to be viral DNA. Electron microscope autoradiography showed that these inclusions were the sites of DNA synthesis. In addition, association of DNA polymerase activity with the inclusions was detected by incorporation of radioactivity from (3)H-thymidine triphosphate into a DNA product. The in vitro product of the enzyme had a density equal to that of viral DNA rather than host DNA. The level of DNA polymerase activity in exponentially growing infected and uninfected whole cells was similar, but in cells in stationary phase the enzyme activity of infected cells was twice that in noninfected cells. Furthermore, nuclei isolated from infected cells showed a fourfold increase in DNA polymerase activity over the noninfected cells.

Correlation of Production of Infectious Virus with Sequential Stages of Cytologic Alteration in Hela Cells Infected with Adenoviruses Types 5 and 7
Studies correlating the production of infectious adenovirus (types 5 and 7) and the progression of the stages of virus-induced cytologic change in HeLa cells are presented. The results reveal a close relationship between the development of the characteristic nuclear changes and adenovirus synthesis. They suggest that cells manifesting the first stages of nuclear change, characterized by the app...

The sequential cytological changes which develop in tissue culture cells infected with adenovirus types 5 and 7 are described and compared with those produced by adenovirus types 1, 2, 3, and 4. The evidence that is presented indicates that types 1, 2, and 5 belong to one major subdivision of the adenovirus group and types 3, 4, and 7 to another. That the host cell nucleus is the principal site...

Objective(s) Recombinant adenoviruses are currently used for a variety of purposes, including in vitro gene transfer, in vivo vaccination, and gene therapy. Ability to infect many cell types, high efficiency in gene transfer, entering both dividing and non dividing cells, and growing to high titers make this virus a good choice for using in various experiments. In the present experiment, a reco...

All human, simian, bovine and avian adenovirus types tested so far and the canine hepatitis virus induce interferon production in chick cells. This finding indicated this property to be characteristic for viruses belonging to the adenovirus group. Trypsin treatment, which had no effect upon the infectivity, diminished or eliminated the interferon-inducing abilities of crude adenoviruses, and th...
