Proposal for a uniform nomenclature for simian virus 40 mutants.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A uniform nomenclature for simian virus 40 mutants has been developed. This nomenclature should evolve into a comprehensive nomenclature as new mutants and information are obtained. Hopefully, his nomenclature will also stimulate the development of a comprehensive nomenclature for all animal virus mutants.

Proposed nomenclature for mutants of adenoviruses.
In accord with the nomenclature proposed for mutants of simian virus 40 the same rules, with minor modifications, are recommended for naming mutants of adenoviruses. It is further suggested that these rules, which pertain to a system of classification based primarily upon complementation analysis, also be applied to mutants of other DNA-containing animal viruses.
متن کاملViable deletion mutants of simian virus 40: selective isolation by means of a restriction endonuclease from Hemophilus parainfluenzae.
Resistance of simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA to cleavage by Hemophilus parainfluenzae II (HpaII) restriction endonuclease has been used as a positive, in vitro selection for mutants lacking the one HpaII endonuclease-cleavage site of wild-type SV40 DNA. Each of 10 viable mutants isolated by this procedure multiplies significantly more slowly than wild-type virus and contains a small deletion (80 to...
متن کاملInactivating and mutagenic effects of nitrosoguanidine on simian virus 40.
N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (NTG) in high concentrations inactivates extracellular simian virus 40. No mutants were found in stocks of virions partially inactivated by NTG under the experimental conditions employed. In contrast, NTG in low concentrations inhibits the intracellular replication of simian virus 40 and is an effective mutagen of the intracellular virus. Six temperature-sen...
متن کاملExpression of 100,000-Mr simian virus 40 (SV40) tumor antigen in mouse fibroblasts transfected with replication-defective SV40 genomes.
Simian virus 40 early region mutants which are partially or completely replication defective were tested for their ability to transform postcrisis mouse fibroblasts. All mutants tested were capable of generating anchorage-independent transformants. We have previously reported the presence of a variant tumor antigen of 100,000 Mr (100K protein) generated upon transformation by wild-type simian v...
متن کاملTemperature-sensitive mutants of vesicular stomatitis virus; homology and nomenclature.
Reciprocal complementation experiments in mouse L cells and BHK-2I cells show that the complementing temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), Indiana serotype, isolated from the HR wild-type strain, belong to groups I, III and IV (Flamand & Pringle, I97I). Since the homologies of ts mutants isolated from three different wild-type strains growing in different host ...
