Agglutinins in chickens infected with JM leukosis virus.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hemagglutinins for sheep red blood cells were detected in sera from JM virus-infected single-comb White Leghorn (susceptible S line) chickens. The agglutinins were not sedimented at 97,000 x g and were not affected by freezing and thawing, possibly indicating a soluble hemagglutinating factor. Agglutination titers were read in a relatively short period, after 4 hr of incubation at 4 C. The usefulness of this test for quick and low-cost screening of a large number of samples is indicated.

Radioimmunoassay of the group-specific antigen in detection of avian leukosis virus infection.
The major group-specific antigen (gs-a) of avian leukoviruses was detected by radioimmunoassay in extracellular medium of all embryonic cultures prepared from infected chickens. Embryos of birds not carrying an avian ]eukosis virus infection and of chickens from a leukosis-free flock could thus clearly be distinguished from infected ones. Release of group-specific antigen into the extracellular...

Thirteen oncogenic and necrotizing animal viruses were assayed in LIFE Sciences, Inc. (LSI)-specific pathogen-free Japanese quail and LSI-specific pathogen-free chicken embryo cell cultures. Nine viruses produced similar titers in the quail and chicken cell systems, whereas four viruses showed significantly higher titers in chickens. Young Japanese quail and chickens were inoculated with five s...

Chickens from seven different parental lines of commercial White Leghorn layer flocks from three independent breeders were inoculated with a naturally occurring avian leukosis virus (ALV) containing an ALV-B envelope and an ALV-J long terminal repeat (LTR) termed ALV-B/J. Additional groups of chickens from the same seven parental lines were inoculated with ALV-B. Chickens were tested for ALV vi...
متن کاملWidespread presence, in chickens, of DNA complementary to the RNA genome of avian leukosis viruses.
DNA-RNA hybridization experiments have demonstrated the widespread presence in chickens of DNA complementary to the RNA of avian myeloblastosis virus. All apparently normal chicken embryos, or adult chickens that were tested, contained viral DNA in amounts ranging from 1.7 to 4.6 viral genome equivalents per cell. Embryos that were negative or positive for the group-specific antigen of avian le...

Subgroup J avian leukosis virus (ALV-J) is an oncogenic retrovirus primarily causing myeloid leukosis (ML) in broilers. Although ALV is well under control in a few countries including the USA, poultry industry in many parts of the world continues suffering from serious economic loss due to sporadic or widespread ALV infection, especially ALV-J infection. ALV-J infection of chickens is reportedl...
