Studies of DNA-infected disrupted cell preparations.

چکیده
Procedures for increasing both sensitivity and reproducibility of virus production in disrupted DNA-infected cell preparations have been described. A variety of chemical agents and physical procedures, including fractionation by centrifugation, were tested for effects on the ability of disrupted cell preparations to form virus particles. DNA prepared from lambda-virulent phage, a deletion mutant derived from lambda-temperate phage, was shown to be infectious in disrupted cell preparations. When infectious lambda-virulent and lambda-temperate phage DNA were added simultaneously to frozen and thawed cell preparations, a marked increase in the production of infectious units was observed. This effect was eliminated when the biological activity of either DNA type was destroyed by heat. Phage particles produced by such mixed infections had the same buoyant density as the respective parental phages.

Detection of Helicobacter Pylori Diagnostic Antigens in the Stool of Infected Patients
Background: Some antigens of H. pylori are excreted into the stool of infected people. These antigens can be used to detect the infection by immunoassays such as ELISA. Our aim was to identify these antigens by immunoblotting and affinity chromatography techniques. Methods: Four different antigenic preparations, namely, whole cell sonicate (WCS), outer membrane proteins (OMPs), cytoplasmic anti...
متن کاملIdentification of an FMR cell surface antigen associated with murine leukemia virus-infected cells.
FMR antigens are found on the surface of cells infected with Friend, Moloney, and Rauscher murine leukemia viruses (MuLV). These antigens are serologically distinct from the G cell surface antigens that are found on cells infected with endogenous MuLV (AKR and Gross virus). Cell surface antigens of both virus groups are immunogenic in mice, and immunization with appropriate virus-infected cells...
متن کاملBeta-propiolactone treatment impairs the biological activity of residual DNA from BHK-21 cells infected with rabies virus.
The effects of beta-propiolactone (BPL), an alkylating and virus inactivating agent, on the structural and in vitro biological properties of different DNA preparations from BHK-21 cells were investigated. Both uninfected and rabies virus-infected cells were used. Purified cellular DNA (celDNA) was used as the reference, and supernatants from infected cells were treated with BPL. For structural ...
متن کاملALTERATIONS OF ADP-RIBOSYLATION AND DNA-BREAKS IN AGING BRAIN CELLS
Neuronal and astroglial cells were prepared from whole brain of three month and 30-month- old rats for study of alterations in the nuclear poly ADP-ribosylation and DNA breaks with age. The relative purity of the cell preparations was confirmed by the determination of the neurofilament (low molecular weight) and glutamine synthetase content of the cells using ELISA. An increase (75%) in th...
متن کاملDemonstration of an unusual DNA polymerase activity associated with the L cell virion.
Purified preparations of L cell virions (LCV) were found to possess an associated DNA polymerase activity. This enzyme was active with poly(C).oligo(dG) and poly(Cm).oligo(dG) and was able to transcribe poly(A).oligo(dT). Endogenous DNA synthesis was also demonstrable in disrupted virion preparations but this reaction was enhanced, rather than inhibited, by RNase pre-treatment. The effects of v...
