Forms of deoxyribonucleic acid produced by virions of the ribonucleic acid tumor viruses.

Indirect evidence for the presence of Ribonucleic acid in vesicular stomatitis Virions

The Isolation and Characterization of Adenosine Monophosphate-rich Polynucleotides Synthesized by Soybean Hypocotyl Cells: Their Relation to Messenger Ribonucleic Acid.

Plant ribonucleic acids which have high adenosine monophosphate concentrations were studied. Purified deoxyribonucleic acid-like ribonucleic acid and tenaciously bound ribonucleic acid fractions both contained poly-adenosine monophosphate sequences (those from the latter being longer than those from the former); without these poly-adenosine monophosphate sequences their base compositions were t...

Cytologic and Cytotoxic Changes Induced by Nucleic Acids.

Nucleic acids and protein prepared from Sarcoma 180, from Ehrlich ascites tumor, from NCTC 929 cells derived from strain L, and from normal mouse liver, when injected subcutaneously in mice with cultured viable NCTC 929 strain L cells, oc casionally induce cytologie atypia in the NCTC 929 cells, characterized by giant cells, abnormal cytoplasmic shapes and staining, large nuclei, and prominence...

The influence of syringomycin on ribonucleic acid synthesis.

Syringomycin, a wide-spectrum antibiotic produced by strains of Pseudomonas syringae which cause bacterial canker of peach, was able to bind to salmon sperm and calf thymus deoxyribonucleic acid but not to calf thymus histone; it also inhibited ribonucleic acid polymerase activity. These abilities to bind to deoxyribonucleic acid and to inhibit ribonucleic acid polymerase were inactivated when ...

Purification of large amounts of murine ribonucleic acid tumor viruses produced in roller bottle cultures.

Murine ribonucleic acid tumor viruses and C-type virus particles are produced in relatively large quantities in roller bottle cultures. The viruses present in large volumes of culture fluids can be purified by a simple two-step procedure involving polyethylene glycol precipitation and equilibrium centrifugation in sucrose density gradients.
