Reticuloendotheliosis Viruses, and Chicken Cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
Antibodies against a large and a small DNA polymerase isolated from chicken embryos and against avian myeloblastosis virus DNA polymerase were used to study the serological relationships of the DNA polymerase activities of three avian systems with RNA and a DNA polymerase-avian leukosis-sarcoma viruses, reticuloendotheliosis viruses, and a fraction from uninfected chicken cells. The DNA polymerase activity of disrupted virions of all avian leukosis-sar-

Replication of reticuloendotheliosis viruses in cell culture: chronic infection.
After an initial acute infection with cell killing, chicken or duck embryo fibroblasts infected in culture with reticuloendotheliosis viruses set up a chronic infection with no cell killing or morphological transformation. Essentially all of the chronically infected cells produced virus. The virus production was not sensitive to cytosine arabinoside or mitomycin C as was virus production in an ...
متن کاملReticuloendotheliosis virus nucleic acid sequences in cellular DNA.
Reticuloendotheliosis virus 60S RNA labeled with (125)I, or reticuloendotheliosis virus complementary DNA labeled with (3)H, were hybridized to DNAs from infected chicken and pheasant cells. Most of the sequences of the viral RNA were found in the infected cell DNAs. The reticuloendotheliosis viruses, therefore, replicate through a DNA intermediate. The same labeled nucleic acids were hybridize...
متن کاملMorphological, immunological, and biochemical analyses of chicken spleen cells transformed in vitro by reticuloendotheliosis virus strain T.
Reticuloendotheliosis virus strain T (REV-T) is a highly oncogenic avian retrovirus which causes a rapid neoplastic disease of the lymphoreticular system. We derived six cell lines (1-3, 1-5, 2-10, 2-14, 2-16, and 2-20) from chicken spleen cells infected with REV-T. These cells can produce both the REV-T and its associated reticuloendotheliosis helper virus, REV-A. Histochemical analyses of the...
متن کاملReticuloendotheliosis virus strain T induces miR-155, which targets JARID2 and promotes cell survival.
The oncogenic microRNA miR-155 is upregulated by several oncogenic viruses. The precursor of miR-155, termed bic, was first observed to cooperate with myc in chicken B-cell lymphomas induced by avian leukosis proviral integrations. We identified another oncogenic retrovirus, reticuloendotheliosis virus strain T (REV-T), that upregulates miR-155 in chicken embryo fibroblasts. We also observed ve...
متن کاملComparison of the small RNAs of polymerase-deficient and polymerase-positive Rous sarcoma virus and another species of avian retrovirus.
The small RNAs contained in virions of avian leukosis and sarcoma viruses are a virus-specific subset of the total small RNA population of the host cell. The reverse transcriptase protein must be present in the budding virion for this selection to take place. Virions of the alpha form of the Bryan strain of Rous sarcoma virus, which lack detectable reverse transcriptase, incorporated an unselec...
