Sequences present in both human leukemic cell nuclear DNA and Rauscher leukemia virus.

چکیده
DNA synthesized by particulate fractions from human leukemic white blood cells has been subfractionated by hybridization to Rauscher leukemia virus 70S RNA followed by hydroxylapatite chromatography. The Rauscher-leukemia-virus-specific DNA fraction is shown to be complementary only to sequences present in the nuclear DNA of Balb/c mouse spleens infected by this virus and the nuclear DNA from human leukemic white blood cells, and not to sequences present in the nuclear DNA of normal Balb/c mouse spleens or the nuclear DNA of normal human white blood cells.

RNA in human leukemic cells related to the RNA of a mouse leukemia virus (leukocytes-RNA-DNA hybridization-rauscher virus-polysomal RNA).
Molecular hybridization with radioactively labeled DNA complementary to the RNA of the Rauscher leukemia virus was used to probe for homologous RNA in the polysome fraction of human leukemic cells. The leukocytes of 24 out of 27 patients examined contained RNA possessing homology to that of the mouse leukemia agent, but not to that of the unrelated viruses causing mammary tumors in mice or myel...
متن کاملImmunofluorescent studies of human leukemic cells with antiserum to a murine leukemic virus (Rauscher strain).
I N 1963, FINK AND MALMGREN,1 using the technic of immunofluorescence, showed that lymphoid tissue in muring leukemia contains antigen reactive with specific anti-viral antibody. Further studies by Fink, Malmgren, Rauscher, Orr and Karon2 demonstrated that some human leukemic blood and bone marrow cells also reacted with the murine leukemic virus ( Rauscher) antibody. In addition, rabbit antise...
متن کاملBovine leukemia virus: an exogenous RNA oncogenic virus?
Short term cultures of bovine leukemic lymphocytes release virus particles with biochemical properties of RNA oncogenic viruses. These particles, tentatively called Bovine Leukemia Virus (BLV) have a high molecular weight-reverse transcriptase complex and a density averaging 1.155 g/ml in sucrose solutions. Molecular hybridizations between BLV-3H cDNA and several viral RNAs show that BLV is not...
متن کاملFolic acid metabolism in Rauscher murine leukemia and effect of methotrexate on the blood picture.
Folic acid contents of plasma, whole blood, liver and spleen in Rauscher leukemic mice were estimated. Plasma and liver folate in the leukemic mice was lower than that of normal mice, suggesting that folic acid was deficient in Rauscher leukemia. Folic acid contents in whole blood and spleen were even higher in the leukemic mice than those in normal mice. Clearance study by injecting folic acid...
متن کاملRNA tumor viruses and human lymphomas.
We have used molecular hybridization to detect virus-specific RNA in tumors ( I ) , and have found that corresponding neoplasias of murine and human origin exhibit remarkable similarities. Thus, human breast carcinomas contained (2) RNA possessing sequence homology to that of mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV). This type of RNA was unique to the malignant adenoand medullary-carcinomas, being unde...
