چکیده

Following the observations on high-speed centrifugation of the avian sarcoma agent by various investigators,1' 8,10,11,12 similar studies of the agent of fowl leukosis have been undertaken. Since the neoplastic nature of this disease is now rather generally recognized, observations on the filterable agent of chicken leukosis have assumed new significance for the study of the etiology of fowl neoplasms. It is the purpose of this paper to describe (1) observations on the transfer of fowl leukosis with fractions obtained by ultracentrifugation of leukemic bone-marrow extracts and plasma and (2) observations on host resistance to both the filterable agent and leukemic cells. An account of the physical-chemical properties of sediments obtained from leukemic tissue extracts will appear in a subsequent publication.: Materials and methods

Detection of avian leukosis virus subgroup J in albumen of commercial and native fowl eggs using RT-PCR in Fars province of Iran

The subgroup J of ALV (ALV-J) has emerged as an important pathogen of meat-type chickens since1989. This virus is responsible for economic losses due to both mortality and depressed performance inchickens. So, the objective of this study is the detection of ALV-J in the albumen of commercial and nativefowl eggs using RT-PCR. Three hundred and seventy egg albumens were randomly selected from dif...

Fowl Paralysis and Other Forms of the Avian Leukosis Complex

The disease called fowl paralysis, together with several other allied conditions classed together as the avian leukosis complex,^ causes a tremendous loss to the poultry industry. The paralysis form of this disease complex was first recognized in the United States along the eastern coast about 1920. During the last 20 years the avian leukosis complex has spread rapidly until few flocks of chick...

Studies on the relationship between sarcoma and leukosis in chickens; tumor induction by intramuscular injections of cell-free and cell-containing material from of pure leukosis strain.

It has been reported that some strains of transplantable fowl leukosis are capable of inducing sarcomas at the site of inoculation when suitable material is injected intramuscularly or subcutaneously. Observations on this subject have been published bv Oberling and Gu&in (] 8,19, 20), Rothc Meyer and Engelbreth-Ilolm, for strain E.S., (22, 6), Stubbs and Furth, for strain 13, (2~). Histological...

Genome sequence analysis of the avian retrovirus causing so-called fowl glioma and the promoter activity of the long terminal repeat.

So-called fowl glioma is a retroviral infectious disease caused by avian leukosis virus subgroup A (ALV-A). We determined the complete nucleotide sequence of the virus genome. The full-length sequence was consistent with a genetic organization typical of a replication-competent type C retrovirus lacking viral oncogenes. The coding sequences were well conserved with those of replication-competen...
