In Vitro Culture of Cloned Hamster Melanoma Cells Containing R-type Virus1
نویسندگان
چکیده
A transplantable melanoma of golden Syrian hamsters was grown in tissue culture and four stable cell lines were obtained by cloning techniques. Cells of these lines differ from each other in growth patterns as well as in production of radial-type virus and synthesis and degradation of melanosomes. Cells of one line (KF) produced large amounts of virus and little or no pigmented melanosomes, which were degraded in the early stages of formation. Another cell line (WE) produced virtually no virus but melanosome formation remained intact. The other two cell lines produced varying amounts of both virus and melanosome and degraded pigment in "melanosome complexes."

متن کاملInduction of a bystander effect after therapeutic ultrasound exposure in human melanoma: In-vitro assay
Background: The induction of bystander effect via ionizing radiation has been well proven. However, few studies have investigated the bystander effect following non-ionizing radiation, such as ultrasound waves. Here, the bystander effect after different sonication times on human melanoma cell line (A375), is evaluated by assessing cell viability and apoptosis. Materials and Methods: The cells w...
متن کاملUltrastructural effects of thymidine analogs in melanosomes and virus activation in cloned hamster melanoma cells in culture.
Melanosomes without the characteristic structure of normal melanocytes have been found in experimental melanomas and human nodular melanomas (1-3). They are associated with a unique type of premelanosome, the granular body (1, 2, 4, 5). Melanosomes and premelanosomes in melanomas are tyrosinase positive, but it has been shown that they also contain lysosomal enzymes (6-8). Novikoff et al. (6) p...
متن کاملEXPRESSION OF HUMAN PROTEINASE 3 IN CHINESE HAMSTER OVARY CELLS (CHO-CELLS)
Proteinase 3(PR3) is a human polymorphonuclear leukocyte serine proteinase and is the main target antigen for antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) found in Wegener's granulomatosis (WG). We developed a stable expression system for conformationally intact recombinant PR3 (rPR3) in Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO-cells). The part of PR3 cDNA that encoded the active form of PR3 was s...
