Stress and Murine Sarcoma Virus (Moloney)-induced Tumors1
نویسندگان
چکیده
Stable stress-responsive models have been established in murine (Moloney) virus sarcomas, which lend themselves to further study of intervening immunological mechanisms. Maximum tumor size was increased in sex-segregated male BALB/c mice at 6 and 9 months of age and in females subjected to 3 days of electric shock stress following virus inoculation. Reduction in maximum tumor size was found in females shocked for 3 days prior to virus inoculation. Similarly, females that spontaneously showed fighting behavior developed smaller tumors. Possible endocrine and immunological factors contributing to these varied stress effects are discussed.

متن کاملCell line derived from a murine sarcoma virus (Moloney Pseudotype)-induced tumor: cultural, antigenic, and virological properties.
A cell line derived from a murine sarcoma virus (Moloney pseudotype)-induced tumor has been established. It retains oncogenicity, releases both sarcoma and leukemia viruses, and has virus-induced cellular antigens.
متن کاملIncreased oncogenicity of the murine sarcoma virus (Moloney) by co-infection with murine leukemia viruses.
The high incidence of spontaneous regressions of primary tu mors induced by the Moloney sarcoma virus in adult mice was significantly altered by co-infection with Rauscher, Moloney, and Friend leukemia viruses. Intramuscular, intraperitoneal, or subcutaneous inoculation of sarcoma extracts, prepared from progressively growing tumors obtained from dually infected animals, resulted in extensive m...
متن کاملIn vitro studies of cell-mediated immunity to Moloney murine leukemia virus and Moloney leukemia-associated surface antigens.
Cell-mediated immunity to Moloney murine leukemia virus (M-MuLV) and to tumor-associated surface antigens of leukemia cells induced by the virus was studied with an in vitro migration inhibition factor assay. Spleen cells of C57BL/6N mice at Day 14 following inoculation with Moloney murine sarcoma virus, produced migration inhibition factor in response to M-MuLV. The Moloney murine sarcoma viru...
متن کاملPathogenesis of a rhabdomyosarcoma (undifferentiated type) in rats induced by a murine sarcoma virus (Moloney).
Murine sarcoma virus (Moloney) of mouse origin induced progressively growing local sarcomas in newborn OsborneMendel rats. Cell-free extracts prepared from the rat sar comas were oncogenic in newborn mice and in newborn, 2wpck-old, and 4-week-old Osborne-Mendel rats. The sarcomas were readily transplan table in Osborne-Mendel rats of the same age groups. Tumors in the early transplant generatio...
