Detection of sequences in human leukemic cell DNA homologous with moloney mouse leukemia viral RNA.
نویسندگان
چکیده
DNA complementary to Moloney murine leukemia viral RNA was annealed with DNA isolated from peripheral leukocytes of twelve patients with leukemia. Six to 10% of the complementary DNA annealed to the DNA of one patient with acute myelogenous leukemia. The level of annealing of the complementary DNA to the other leukemic DNA's did not differ significantly from that to normal human spleen DNA. This result is consistent with reports of occasional positive results from other laboratories, but the significance, especially in reference to a causal role for RNA tumor viruses in human leukemia, remains unclear.

Murine and simian C-type viruses: sequences detected in the RNA of human leukemic cells by the c-DNA probes.
The detection of viral-related RNA sequences in human leukemic, human-breast cancer, and other human cancer cells has been facilitated in recent years by molecular hybridization techniques of human ribonucleic acid to the complementary DNA (C-DNA) synthesized in-vitro by animal type cRNA tumor viruses (1-5). Our laboratory has been interested in the search for such sequences in the nucleic acid...
متن کاملIsolation of a recombinant murine leukemia virus utilizing a new primer tRNA.
We have previously described the construction of a mutant of Moloney murine leukemia virus bearing a deletion at the normal site of integration of the viral DNA. We have now recovered a revertant of the virus after abortive infection of mouse cells and have determined the structure of the new virus. The revertant is a recombinant virus containing a 500-base-pair patch of new sequences derived f...
متن کاملRNA 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...

The presence of viral-like sequences in the RNA of various types of leukemic cells was investigated by hybridizing cellular poly(A)-containing RNA with cDNA synthesized in an endogenous system of purified Moloney murine sarcoma virus [M-MSV-(MLV)]. Poly(A)-RNA-cDNA hybrids were detected by assaying their resistance to S1 nuclease. Hybrids were found in 22 out of the 46 leukemias that were teste...

Considerable information is available concerning the etiological role of RNA tumor viruses in leukemias, lymphomas, sarcomas, and breast Cancer in a variety of animals, e. g., chicken ( I ) , mice (2), cats (3), etc. In animals, causative proof has been achieved by inoculation experiments that satisfy Koch's postulates. In man, such experiments obviously cannot be undertaken, and other more ind...
