چکیده

A method is described for the isolation of virus-resistant mutants of mammalian cells in culture. Cells of a mouse embryo fibroblast line (3T6) were treated with a mutagen and subjected to selection for virus resistance. The cells were infected with a temperature-sensitive mutant of Sindbis virus which was allowed to proceed through one cycle of replication at the permissive temperature. On transfer of the cells to the non-permissive temperature, further cycles of virus replication were prevented and non-infected cells allowed to grow out. Repetition of this procedure over 2 months resulted in the isolation of a population of 3T6 cells which resisted infection by Sindbis virus. Single cell clones were isolated that were resistant to the growth of Sindbis virus and also to the growth of Mengo virus, Semliki Forest virus, vesicular stomatitis virus, Newcastle Disease virus, vaccinia virus and herpes simplex virus.

Potential of Mouse and Human Embryonic Fibroblasts to Support Mouse Embryo Development Following Exposure to Laboratory Temperature

Purpose: Present study was designed to evaluate the potential of co-culture systems to overcome deleterious effect of exposure of mouse 2-cell embryos to low temperature. Materials and Methods: 2-cell embryos were flushed from oviduct of super ovulated NMRI mice into HTF medium with 15% BSA. After washing 3 times with HBSS and with 15% BSA, embryos were exposed to laboratory temperature (LT) (...

Cultured chick embryo fibroblasts accumulate Ca2+ in the presence of Mg2+ and ATP. The uptake is highly specific; Mn2+ inhibits it, and other nucleotide triphosphates are without effect. The presence of oxalate, Na+ and/or K+ increases the amount of accumulated Ca2+. The cation transport is inhibited by mersalate, oligomycin, and hydroxylamine. The capacity of fibroblasts to energetically trans...
