Large-scale production of mouse mammary tumor virus in the absence of endogenous murine leukemia virus.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A system for the large-scale production and purification of mouse mammary tumor virus in the absence of detectable endogenous murine leukemia virus is described. By utilizing the Mm5mt/c1 cell line established from an adenocarcinoma of a C3H mouse, the continuous production of over 25,000 liters of mouse mammary tumor virus-containing tissue culture fluids has been achieved. By the strict adherence to well-defined tissue culture conditions, mammary tumor virus production was accomplished without the expression of murine leukemia virus. Various biochemical and immunological systems were established for the rapid and precise detection of the endogenous leukemia virus, the expression of which could be enhanced under conditions of culture stress.

Amplification and novel locations of endogenous mouse mammary tumor virus genomes in mouse T-cell lymphomas.
Endogenous mouse mammary tumor virus genomes are amplified and located in novel cell DNA sequences in many mouse T-cell lymphomas. Transplanted tumors recovered from the same mouse strain and shown to be of independent origin by chromosomal analysis, by the presence of JH immunoglobulin gene rearrangements, or by the integration patterns of exogenous Moloney MuLV genomes frequently showed simil...

متن کاملCharacteristics of mammary tumor cultures from four mouse strains infected with mammary tumor virus.
The morphology and production of oncornaviruses in primary cell and explant mammary adenocarcinoma cultures derived from C3Hf, BALB/cNIV, BALB/cfC3H, and C3H mice were characterized. Cultures from the four mouse strains were morphologically similar; they were all epithelial and formed hemicysts and mounds. However, the numbers of cells containing mammary tumor virus (MTV) antigens and the produ...

Background: Improving vaccine potency in the induction of a strong cell-mediated cytotoxicity can enhance the efficacy of vaccines. Necrotic cells and the supernatant of necrotic tumor cells are attractive adjuvants, on account of their ability to recruit antigen-presenting cells to the site of antigen synthesis as well as its ability to stimulate the maturation of dendritic cells. Objective: T...

A whole-cell-mounting technique was successfully applied to the study of mouse mammary tumor virus budding from cells in tissue culture. The technique permitted the visualiza tion of ultrastructural detail, including the cores and the surface spikes of budding virions. The latter are difficult to discriminate in thin sections. Budding mammary tumor virus was compared with budding murine leukemi...
