Expression of a monoclonal antibody-defined, B-lineage transformation antigen specifically identifies Abelson-diseased animals. Genetically determined resistance to Abelson murine leukemia virus acts before induction of gp160(6C3)

چکیده
Mice genetically susceptible or genetically resistant to the leukemogenic effects of A-MuLV(Mo) were tested for their expression of the B-lineage neoplastic transformation-associated antigen, 6C3Ag. Genetically resistant inbred strains and recombinant inbred lines developed neither cells expressing high levels of 6C3Ag (6C3Aghi) in their hematolymphoid tissues nor Abelson leukemias. Genetically susceptible inbred strains and recombinant inbred lines developed high percentages of 6C3Aghi hematolymphoid cells concomitant with development of Abelson leukemias and lymphomas. Thus the genetically-determined resistance to A-MuLV(Mo) leukemogenesis appears to act at some step(s) after virus infection but before the stage of malignant progression, which is marked by 6C3Ag expression.

Animals injected with Abelson murine leukemia virus (A-MuLV) rapidly develop fatal bone marrow-derived lymphosarcomas. In all such diseased animals tested, a subpopulation of bone marrow cells expressed a monoclonal antibody-defined, B lineage transformation-associated antigen (6C3 Ag) at levels increased from that detected on normal lymphocytes. Cells bearing a high level of this antigen were ...

The monoclonal antibody 6C3 was used to test a wide variety of murine hematopoietic neoplasms for cell surface expression of a 160 kD glycoprotein (gp160(6C3)) previously shown to be expressed by neoplastic pre-B and some B lymphocytes transformed by Abelson murine leukemia virus (A-MuLV). This antigen was expressed on many pre-B and B cell lymphomas, but not on A-MuLV-transformed fibroblasts, ...

In an effort to identify cellular proteins that may be involved in the Abelson murine leukemia virus (A-MuLV) transformation process, we have isolated a hybridoma antibody (6C3) that detects a tumor-associated antigen in all A-MuLV-induced pre-B-cell lymphomas. The 6C3 antibody immunoprecipitates two molecules of Mr 160,000 and Mr 125,000 from metabolically labeled A-MuLV tumors. The two protei...

Abelson leukemia virus (A-MuLV) is an oncogenic murine retrovirus whose genome contains sequences homologous to those of a normal cellular gene, c-abl. It has been demonstrated to cause rapid transformation of several cell types, including pre-B lymphocytes, macrophages, and fibroblasts. More recently, A-MuLV has been reported to induce thymic tumors in a mouse strain (C57BL/Ka) previously thou...

Abelson murine leukemia virus (A-MuLV) is a replication defective retrovirus that induces a thymus-independent lymphoma after a short, 3-5 week latent period (Abelson and Rabstein 1970). The virus is unique among murine retroviruses in its ability to transform lymphoid cells in vitro (Rosenberg and Baltimore 1976; Rosenberg et al. 1975). The lack of thymic involvement in the disease (Abelson an...
