| induction of high frequencies of endoreduplication in mammalian cell cultures with 33258 hoechst and rubidazone. | cells of the mouse l strain and the chinese hamster cho line were treated with 33258 hoechst, rubidazone, and a combination of these. recovering cell populations following the drug removal exhibited a high frequency (20--50%) of metaphases with diplochromosomes (endoreduplication), especially in the combination treatment series (up to more than 70% in the l strain). such a procedure should be useful in probing the mechanisms of the endoreduplication process. | 1979 | 83930 |
| fibroblast interferon in man is coded by two loci on separate chromosomes. | we have examined viral and poly(rl):poly(rc) induction of interferon synthesis in several human, mouse and chinese hamster cell lines, and in hybrids derived from the fusion of such cells. we observed species and cell-type differences in inducer effectiveness and in the kinetics of interferon production. in some cases, parental characteristics are preserved in somatic cell hybrids, and in other cases, the expression of the donor phenotype is modulated by the epigenetic state of the recipient cel ... | 1979 | 84714 |

| the relation between chemically induced sister-chromatid exchanges and chromatid breakage. | studies of classical chromosome aberrations and sister-chromatid exchanges (sces) suggest independent mechanisms for the two events despite some common features. examination of chromosome breakage caused by x-rays, visible light, and viruses has shown that few chromatid breaks are accompanied by sces at the sites of breaks. no similar observations were available for chemically induced breaks, but it has been reported that rat chromosomes exposed to dimethylbenzanthracene (dmba) contained a prepo ... | 1979 | 90339 |
| somatic cell genetics of human interferon production in human-rodent cell hybrids. | forty-two primary human-mouse cell hybrids, derived in two separate experiments, were treated with newcastle disease virus (ndv): eight hybrids were found to produce human interferon and this was shown in every case to be predominantly of the fibroblast type. an extensive analysis was made in terms of karyotype and marker enzymes on all the eight hybrids producing interferon and also on five hybrids which did not produce interferon, five randomly selected hybrids and eleven subclones resistant t ... | 1979 | 94346 |
| identification of 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene metabolites that lead to mutagenesis in mammalian cells. | the mutagenicity of 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]-anthracene (dmba) and 11 of its enzymatically derived metabolites was tested with chinese hamster v79 cells for identification of mutagenic metabolites. the metabolites consisted of 7-hydroxymethyl-12-methylbenz[a]anthracene, 7-methyl-12-hydroxymethylbenz[a]anthracene, 7,12-dihydroxymethylbenz[a]anthracene, three trans-3,4-diols, two trans-5,6-diols, and three trans-8,9-diols, all of which derived from dmba or from the hydroxymethyl derivatives. mutations ... | 1979 | 106395 |
| selective growth of some rodent epithelial cells in a medium containing citrulline. | we have defined a medium (called sun's modified waymouth medium) that selectively cultures some rodent epithelial cells that are capable of using citrulline in place of arginine. a growth-response study of the ability of 47 different mammalian cell cultures (of mouse, rat, syrian hamster, chinese hamster, guinea pig, rabbit, monkey, and human origin) to use arginine or its biosynthetic precursors, ornithine, citrulline, or argininosuccinate, showed that all epithelial cells and some fibroblasts ... | 1979 | 109834 |
| isolated liver perfusion--a tool in mutagenicity testing for the evaluation of carcinogens. | an isolated liver perfusion system suitable for the combination with chinese hamster v79 cells is described. with this system, it is possible to study, with the v79 cells as genetic targets, the mutagenic effect of a chemical after metabolic activation in the intact organ. those substances commonly used in mutagenicity testing as inducers of drug metabolising enzymes, i.e. arochlor 1254. phenobarbital(pb) and 3-methylcholantrene(3-mc), were studied for their effect in the isolated perfused liver ... | 1979 | 113109 |
| comparison of mutagenesis and malignant transformation by dihydrodiols from benz[a]anthracene and 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene. | five dihydrodiols derived from benz[a]anthracene (ba) and 4 dihydrodiols derived from 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (dmba) have been tested, together with the parent hydrocarbons, for their abilities to induce mutations to 8-azaguanine resistance in v79 (chinese hamster cells and malignant transformation in m2 mouse fibroblasts. the syn- and anti-isomers of benz[a]anthracene 8,9-diol 10,11-oxide were also tested for biological activity in these two systems. the non-k-region 1,2- and 3,4-dihydro ... | 1979 | 114201 |
| assignment of structural beta-galactosidase loci to human chromosomes 3 and 22. | hybrid cell lines isolated after fusions between chinese hamster e36 cells and normal human white blood cells were analyzed for human beta-galactosidase isoenzymes and for human chromosomes, especially 3, 12, and 22, the candidates for bearing a beta-galactosidase locus. results of neuraminidase treatment of the cell lysates and immunological studies showed that in man two structural beta-galactosidase loci are present and can be assigned to chromosomes 3 and 22. no correlation was found between ... | 1979 | 116956 |

| lysosomal arylsulfatase deficiencies in humans: chromosome assignments for arylsulfatase a and b. | genetics of human lysosomal arylsulfatases a and b (aryl-sulfate sulfohydrolase, ec 3.1.6.1), associated with childhood disease, has been studied with human-rodent somatic cell hybrids. deficiency of arylsulfatase a (ars(a)) in humans results in a progressive neurodegenerative disease, metachromatic leukodystrophy. deficiency of arylsulfatase b (ars(b)) is associated with skeletal and growth malformations, termed the maroteaux-lamy syndrome. simultaneous deficiency of both enzymes is associated ... | 1979 | 36611 |
| purification and chemical characterization of the heat-labile enterotoxin produced by enterotoxigenic escherichia coli. | heat-labile enterotoxin (lt) produced by a human strain of enterotoxigenic escherichia coli (286c(2)) was purified to homogeneity from ph extracts of fermentor-grown cells by ultrafiltration, (nh(4))(2)so(4) fractionation, hydrophobic chromatography on norleucine-sepharose 4b, hydroxylapatite chromatography, and bio-gel p-150 filtration. purified lt preparations exhibited biological activity comparable to that of cholera toxin in four bioassays specific for the two enterotoxins (y-1 adrenal tumo ... | 1979 | 39893 |
| mechanism of action of yersinia enterocolitica enterotoxin. | enterotoxin derived from three clinical isolates of yersinia enterocolitica was compared with the heat-stable enterotoxin of escherichia coli. both toxins were biologically active in infant mice examined at 2 h and in ligated rabbit ileal loops at 6 h. neither substance, however, produced changes in ligated ileal loops at 18 h or in chinese hamster ovary or y1 adrenal tissue cultures. in addition, both y. enterocolitica enterotoxin concentrated approximately 20 times by ammonium sulfate precipit ... | 1979 | 39894 |
| human gene mapping and cancer biology. | the topics covered in this paper include: (i) a somatic cell genetics approach for measuring the individual variability in the susceptibility to dna damage/repair at the level of specific chromosomal sites; (ii) a rationale for a selective chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy of chromosomally unbalanced tumours; and (iii) studies on complementation for sister chromatid exchange (sce) in roden-human hybrids. preliminary studies indicate that the 'radiation co-transfer method' for gene mapping can be ... | 1979 | 258171 |
| [interaction of lambda bacteriophages with mammalian cells. ii. elucidation of the role of interacting components]. | the study of 3h-thymidine labelled bacteriophage lambda c185757 uptake by hela, rh and chinese hamster cell revealed the lack of cells or phage specificity in the phage interaction with cells. the phage uptake is shown to be an active process depending on the cell state. the mechanism of "protective" action of calcium chloride is found to be as follows: the calcium phosphate precipitate formed in phosphate-containing media absorbs the phage, thus increasing its concentration on the cell surface, ... | 1979 | 572596 |
| cytogenetic characterization of chinese hamster-sheep somatic cell hybrids. | the methods used to characterize cytogenetically chinese hamster x sheep somatic cell hybrids have been reported. g and c banding patterns on hybrid metaphases allowed the discrimination between hamster and sheep chromosomes, and in addition to establish the unidirectional loss of sheep chromosomes in hybrid cells. | 1979 | 575764 |
| chromosomal imbalance in ovulated oocytes from syrian hamsters (mesocricetus auratus) and chinese hamsters (cricetulus griseus). | chromosomes were studied in ovulated oocytes from syrian hamsters (mesocricetus auratus) and chinese hamster (cricetulus griseus) to assess the degree of chromosomal imbalance after first meiotic division of oogenesis. only one hyperploid oocyte among 307 studied was detected in the former, and none in oocytes from the latter species. structural chromosome alterations, single chromatids due to presegregation, and diploid chromosome sets resulting from meiotic blockage were not observed. the horm ... | 1979 | 761487 |
| structural studies of the major high mannose oligosaccharide units from chinese hamster ovary cell glycoproteins. | the major high mannose-type glycopeptides present in chinese hamster ovary cells have the compositions (man)9(glcnac)2-asn, (man)8(glcnac)2-asn, and (man)6(glcnac)2-asn. the structures of these glycopeptides were determined by the combination of methylation analysis, acetolysis, smith periodate degradation, and alpha- and beta-mannosidase digestion. their complete structures are: manalpha1 leads to 2manaalpha1 leads to 6(manalpha1 leads to 2manalpha1 leads to 3)manalpha1 leads to 6(manalpha1 lea ... | 1979 | 762159 |
| adaptation of the staphylococcal coagglutination technique for detection of heat-labile enterotoxin of escherichia coli. | protein a-containing staphylococci coated with specific antiserum were tested for heat-labile enterotoxin of escherichia coli. the immunological cross-reactivity of e. coli heat-labile enterotoxin with vibrio cholerae toxin (choleragen) was the basis for sensitizing stabilized suspensions of the cowan i strain of staphylococcus aureus with anticholeragen. unconcentrated culture supernatant fluid containing e. coli heat-labile enterotoxin produced macroscopic agglutination when mixed with sensiti ... | 1979 | 372214 |
| further study of the genetic toxicity of gentian violet. | the genetic toxicity of gentian violet was studied with the ames and the rosenkranz bacterial assays as well as the cytogenetic assays (chinese hamster ovary cells in vitro in the presence of rat-liver s-9 fractions, the chicken-embryo and mouse-bone-marrow cells in vivo). gentian violet was found to be toxic but not mutagenic in the ames assay. however, it was active in the rosenkranz assay causing reparable dna damage. the presence of s-9 in the in vitro cytogenetic assay and in the bacterial ... | 1979 | 372796 |
| mutagenicity of some n- and o-acyl derivatives of n-hydroxy-2-aminofluorene in v79 chinese hamster cells. | mutagenicity of 4 n- and o-acyl derivatives of n-hydroxy-2-aminofluorene (acyl: acetyl or myristoyl residue) was examined in v79 chinese hamster cells in the absence of a metabolic activation system. n-myristoyloxy-n-acetyl-2-aminofluorene (n-myo-aaf) was toxic and weakly mutagenic, inducing 8-azaguanine-resistant (azar) mutants in v79 chinese hamster cells in a concentration-dependent fashion; while n-acetoxy-n-myristoyl-2-aminofluorene (n-aco-myaf) and n-myristoyloxy-n-myristoyl-2-aminofluoren ... | 1979 | 373878 |
| slit-scan flow cytometry of mammalian chromosomes. | a flow cytometer has been constructed which measures total fluorescence and the distribution of fluorescence along isolated, stained mammalian chromosomes. in this device, chromosomes flow lengthwise at 4 m/sec through a 1-micrometer thick laser beam. the fluorescence from each chromosome is recorded at 10 nsec intervals; the sequence of recorded values represents the distribution of fluorescence along the chromosome and is stored in the memory of a waveform recorder. the total fluorescence of e ... | 1979 | 374608 |
| comparison of the induction by cigarette smoke condensates of sister-chromatid exchanges in chinese hamster cells and of mutations in salmonella typhimurium. | three cigarette smoke condensates were tested for the induction of sister-chromatid exchanges in ovary cells of the chinese hamster and for mutations in salmonella typhimurium. in the sister-chromatid exchange test an effect was obtained that was not enhanced by the inclusion of a system for metabolic activation. in the salmonella test, an effect was only obtained by including rat-liver homogenates derived from rats treated with inducers of the enzyme systems necessary for metabolic activation. ... | 1979 | 375084 |
| chromosomal aberration tests on 29 chemicals combined with s9 mix in vitro. | a metabolic activation system with rat-liver microsome fraction plus cofactors (s9 mix) was applied to chromosomal aberration tests in vitro for the screening of chemical mutagens or carcinogens in the environment. dialkylnitrosamines only induced chromosomal aberrations in chinese hamster cells (chl) when treated with s9 mix. the incidence of chromosomal aberrations in chl varied with experimental conditions, e.g. incubation time, recovery time, components of s9 mic and inducers used for prepar ... | 1979 | 375085 |
| carcinogenicity of 2-hydroxybenzo(a)pyrene and 6-hydroxybenzo(a)pyrene in newborn mice. | benzo(a)pyrene (bp), 2-hydroxybenzo(a)pyrene (2-hobp), and 6-hydroxybenzo(a)pyrene (6-hobp) were tested for tumorigenicity by i.p. injection into newborn mice. the mice were treated sequentially with 200, 400, and 800 nmol of compound on the first, eighth and fifteenth day of life, and the animals were killed at 24 weeks of age. treatment with 2-hobp caused about 4-fold more pulmonary tumors than bp, while 6-hobp had little or no tumorigenic activity. newborn mice treated with 2-hobp, bp, and 6- ... | 1979 | 376121 |
| tubulin and calmodulin. effects of microtubule and microfilament inhibitors on localization in the mitotic apparatus. | indirect immunofluorescence was used to determine the distribution of calmodulin in the mitotic apparatus of rat kangaroo ptk2 and chinese hamster ovary (cho) cells. the distribution of calmodulin in ptk2 cells was compared to the distribution of tubulin, also as revealed by indirect immunofluorescence. during mitosis, calmodulin was found to be a dynamic component of the mitotic apparatus. calmodulin first appeared in association with the forming mitotic apparatus during midprophase. in metapha ... | 1979 | 379022 |
| in vitro mutagenicity and cell transformation screening of phenylglycidyl ether. | phenylglycidyl ether (1,2-epoxy-3-phenoxy propane) (pge) was tested for genetic activity in bacterial and mammalian tests. it was active in the salmonella/microsome mutagenicity test. concentration-dependent mutagenicity was demonstrated in s. typhimurium strains ta1535 and ta100 with and without rat s9, but not in strains ta98, ta1537, or ta1538. these results suggest pge, is a direct-acting mutagen causing base substitutions. phenylglycidyl ether did not induce 6-thioguanine-resistant mutants ... | 1979 | 379639 |
| comparison of assay of coliform enterotoxins by conventional techniques versus in vivo intestinal perfusion. | thirty-six strains of coliform bacteria were tested for enterotoxigenicity both by conventional assays, including the y-1 adrenal and chinese hamster ovary cell assays for heat-labile toxin and the suckling mouse assay for heat-stable toxin, and by determining the ability of graded concentrations of ultrafiltrate high- or low-molecular-weight toxin preparations to induce water secretion during in vivo perfusion in the rat jejunum. the ultrafiltrates of all 18 strains isolated from persons with i ... | 1979 | 383611 |
| mutagenicity of 8-ethoxycaffeine in vitro. induction of point mutations in the salmonella/microsome test and of sister-chromatid exchanges as well as chromosomal aberrations in chinese hamster ovary cells (cho line). | the caffeine derivative 8-ethoxycaffeine (eoc) was tested in 3 different test systems in vitro. each experiment was carried out with and without s9 mix. incubation temperatures were 20 and 37 degrees c. (1) in the salmonella/microsome test, eoc behaved as a pro-mutagen in the salmonella typhimurium strain ta1535. no mutagenic activity was found in experiments without s9 mix. the influence of temperature was negligible. the mutagenic activity of eoc depended mainly on the mammals used to prepare ... | 1979 | 384216 |
| defective calcium handling and insulin release in islets from diabetic chinese hamsters. | in pancreatic islets from normal chinese hamsters preloaded with 45ca2+, glucose-induced biphasic insulin release was associated with increased 45ca2+ efflux; islets from diabetic hamsters showed decreased insulin release and no increase in 45ca2+ efflux. the lack of stimulated 45ca2+ efflux persisted even when glucose-induced insulin release was potentiated by 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine. since glucose-stimulated 45ca2+ uptake by diabetic islets was not impaired, a defect in intracellular ca2+ ... | 1979 | 384998 |
| mutagenic activity of rhodamine dyes and their impurities as detected by mutation induction in salmonella and dna damage in chinese hamster ovary cells. | commercial rhodamine dyes 6g and b induce his+ reversion mutations in salmonella and single-strand breaks in chinese hamster ovary cells, as detected by alkaline sucrose sedimentation. aroclor 1254-induced rat liver homogenate (s9) is required for production of genetic activity by these dyes. rhodamine 6g induces both frameshift and base substitution mutations, whereas rhodamine b induces only frameshift mutations. rhodamine 6g is genetically more active and more toxic than is rhodamine b in bot ... | 1979 | 387214 |
| differences in mutagenicity and cytotoxicity of (+)- and (-)-benzo[a]pyrene 4,5-oxide: a synergistic interaction of enantiomers. | in order to study the biological effects of (+)- and (-)-benzo[a]pyrene 4,5-oxide, a synthesis of these molecules has been developed based on the resolution of (+/-)-cis-4,5-dihydroxy-4,5-dihydrobenzo[a]pyrene. the (-) enantiomer of benzo[a]pyrene 4,5-oxide was 1.5- to 5.5-fold more mutagenic than the (+) enantiomer in strains ta 98, ta 100, ta 1537, and ta 1538 of salmonella typhimurium and in chinese hamster v79 cells. in studies with v79 cells, the (-) enantiomer of benzo[a]pyrene 4,5-oxide w ... | 1979 | 388437 |

| in vitro mutagenicity and cell-transformation screening of n-(2,3-epoxy-propyl)-phthalimide. | n-(2,3-epoxy-propyl)-phthalimide (epp) was tested for genetic activity in the salmonella/microsome mutagenicity test. concentration-dependent mutagenicity was demonstrated in s. typhimurium strains ta1535, ta1537 and ta100 with and without rat s9. it was inactive in strain ta1538, and active without rat s9 in ta98 at the high dose. epp induced 6-thioguanine-resistant mutants of chinese hamster ovary cells in the absence of an exogenous activating system. epp produced dose-dependent enhancement o ... | 1979 | 390395 |
| mutagenicity studies of 4-(2-carboxyethyl) phenyl trans-4-aminomethylcyclohexane carboxylate hydrochloride (dv-1006). a new antiulcer drug. | an antiulcer drug, 4-(2-carboxyethyl) phenyl trans 4-aminomethylcyclohexane carboxylate hydrochloride (dv-1006), was studied for mutagenicity using bacterial systems, in vitro and in vivo cytogenetics, and dominant lethal tests. no mutagenicity of dv-1006 was observed either in the rec-assay on bacillus subtilis or in the salmonella/microsome test (ames test). in in vitro cytogenetics, dv-1006 had no effects on the chromosomes of chinese hamster cells at cytotoxic doses. rats were treated singly ... | 1979 | 391178 |
| critical importance of microsome concentration in mutagenesis assay with v79 chinese hamster cells. | for optimum mutagensis in v79 chinese hamster cells, the amount of liver postmitochondrial fraction in the assay was found to be of critical importance, depending on the chemicals being tested. benzo[a]pyrene (bp) required lower (1-5%) concentrations of the liver 15 000 x g supernatant (s15) from methylcholanthrene pretreated rats for a maximum induction of cytotoxicity and mutagenicity, as determined by 8-azaguanine- and ouabain-resistance. a sharp peak of mutagenicity and cytotoxicity was indu ... | 1979 | 392309 |
| [recent developments of instrument assisted chromosome analysis with quantimet 720 (author's transl)]. | the system looks in a short time automatically for good metaphase spreadings. two routines are described which evaluate the relocated metaphases in a semi-automatic way. one routine classifies human chromosomes, using the chromosome area and area ratio of the chromosome arms. the other routine classifies the chromosomes of the chinese hamster. in this routine statistical inputs for chromosome aberrations are possible. | 1979 | 396456 |
| in vitro mutagenicity and cell transformation screening of caprolactam. | caprolactam was tested for genetic activity in bacterial and mammalian screens. it was inactive in the following tests: a) salmonella/microsome mutagenicity; b) chinese hamster ovary cell mutagenicity (induction of 6-thioguanine mutants); c) enhancement of sa7 virus transformation of primary hamster embryo cells, when administered before or after virus, and; d) chemical transformation of secondary hamster embryo cells. | 1979 | 399920 |
| antibodies against chromosomal hmg proteins stain the cytoplasm of mammalian cells. | antibodies specific to protein hmg-1 were purified by affinity chromatography on sepharose columns to which hmg-1 was covalently bound. immunofluorescence studies with these antibodies reveal that hmg-1 or components which immunologically cross-react with hmg-1 are present in the cytoplasm of chinese hamster v-79, rat liver tr-12 and bovine trachea ebtr-nbl-4 cells. at selected antibody concentrations, the fluorescence present in the cytoplasm is more intense than that observed in the nucleus. t ... | 1979 | 369705 |
| mitomycin c stimulates production of a toxin in shigella species that causes morphological changes in chinese hamster ovary cells. | shigella dysenteriae produced a toxin that caused morphological changes in chinese hamster ovary cells which was different from the neurotoxin (y. takeda, k. okamoto, and t. miwatani, infect. immun. 18:546--548, 1977). it was found that the toxin was produced not only by s. dysenteriae but also by s. flexneri, s. boydii, and s. sonnei. the production of the toxin was stimulated by the addition of 1 microgram of mitomycin c per ml to the culture in the early logarithmic growth phase. | 1979 | 370009 |
| selective toxicity of 6-hydroxydopa for melanoma cells. | the growth inhibitory effect of 6-hydroxydopa, a cytotoxic analog of l-dopa, was studied in melanotic and amelanotic cloudman melanoma, mouse fibroblast l929 and chinese hamster ovary cells. a marked sensitivity of pigmented cells to 6-hydroxydopa was observed with a 10-fold increase in sensitivity of pigmented cells. sensitivity correlated with the capacity of cells to incorporate radiolabeled exogenous l-dopa. the drug affected primarily dna and rna synthesis with greater inhibition observed i ... | 1979 | 422870 |
| the in vitro and in vivo reaction at the n7-position of guanine of the ultimate carcinogen derived from benzolalpyrene. | the previously reported reaction at n2- and n7- of guanine following addition of 7 alpha,8 beta-dihydroxy-9 beta, 10 beta-epoxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene (anti-bpde) to an aqueous solution of dna has been studied in more detail. the extent of reaction and the relative yields of n2- and n7-products was measured over the range of ph 4--7. the depurination following reaction at the n7-position of guanine was found to have a half-life of 3 h. reaction of the isomeric 7 alpha,8 beta-dihydroxy ... | 1979 | 428016 |
| visualization of the interphase chromosomes of ornithogalum virens and muntiacus muntjak. | a technique for visualizing "interphase chromosomes" was applied to nuclei of the angio-spermous plant, ornithogalum virens (2 n = 6), and the male mammal, muntiacus munjak (2 n = 7), in an attempt to correlate the numbers of "chromosomes" visible during interphase with the respective diploid chromosome numbers. the alterations in chromosome structure observed during g1, s, and g2 periods were comparable to those previously reported in allium cepa and chinese hamster (cho line) cells [33], but f ... | 1979 | 428620 |
| purine and pyrimidine transport and phosphoribosylation and their interaction in overall uptake by cultured mammalian cells. a re-evaluation. | the zero-trans uptake of purines and pyrimidines was measured in suspensions of novikoff rat hepatoma, mouse l, p388 mouse leukemia, and chinese hamster ovary cells by a rapid kinetic technique which allows the determination of uptake time points in intervals as short as 1.5 s. kinetic parameters for purine/pyrimidine transport were determined by measuring substrate influx into cells in which substrate conversion to nucleotides was negligible either due to lack of the appropriate enzymes or to d ... | 1979 | 429288 |
| identification of a mouse gene required for binding of rauscher mulv envelope gp70. | mouse chromosome segregating somatic cell hybrids were established between a mouse thymic leukemai cell line (grsl) and chinese hamster e36 cells. the grsl cells specifically bound purified rauscher leukemia virus gp70 while the e36 cells exhibited no binding. the hybrids selectively bound ruascher gp70 depending on the presence of a mouse cellular gene for the ecotropic murine luekemia gp70 receptor. a syntenic relationship was observed between the dip-3 chromosome marker (on chromosome 5) and ... | 1979 | 432756 |
| a ts mutant isolated from chl cells: inhibition of dna replication at nonpermissive temperature. | a mutant chinese hamster cell clone has been isolated from an s phase culture. this clone, ts154, could not replicate dna at nonpermissive temperature (39 degrees c), although it synthesized dna normally at permissive temperature (33 degrees c). after transfer to 39 degrees, ts154 cells replicated dna semiconservatively through precisely two complete rounds and divided twice before they ceased dna synthesis and further growth. the mutation in ts154 affects dna replication specifically, as its ra ... | 1979 | 432760 |
| cis-platinum(ii) diamine dichloride causes mutation, transformation, and sister-chromatid exchanges in cultured mammalian cells. | the anti-tumor agent cis-platinum(ii) diamine dichloride caused dose-dependent toxicity in v79 chinese hamster cells and in secondary syrian hamster embryo cells. chromosome aberrations were induced and positive dose--response relationships were observed for induction of sister-chromatid exchanges and 6-thioguanine-resistant mutations in v79 cells and morphologic transformation of secondary syrian hamster embryo cells. the findings suggest that this chemical is a potential human carcinogen. | 1979 | 440327 |

| thymidine transport in cultured mammalian cells. kinetic analysis, temperature dependence and specificity of the transport system. | the transport of thymidine has been characterized kinetically and thermodynamically in novikoff rat hepatoma cells grown in culture and, less extensively, in mouse l cells, chinese hamster ovary cells, p388 murine leukemia cells and hela cells. that the characterizations pertained to the transport system per se was ensured, (i) by employing recently developed methods for rapid sampling of cell/substrate mixtures in order to follow isotope movements within a few seconds after initial exposure of ... | 1979 | 444518 |
| dna fork displacement rates in synchronous aneuploid and diploid mammalian cells. | dna fork displacement rates were measured in chinese hamster ovary cells (cho), human hela cells and human diploid fibroblasts. for cho cells two independent techniques were used: one based on cscl equilibrium density gradients and the other on 313 nm photolysis of incorporated bromodeoxyuridine (brdurd). both methods indicated that there was no significant variation in fork displacement rates in cho cells as they progressed through s phase. asynchronous cho cultures displayed the same average v ... | 1979 | 444527 |
| stages in the prenatal development of the chinese hamster (cricetulus griseus). | a system of staging embryos is described for the chinese hamster (cricetulus griseus). this system of staging, based on streeter's developmental horizons in human embryos, comprises three sets of criteria: 1) data on postconceptional age, size and number of somites, 2) external characteristics and 3) internal characteristics. a comparison has been made with data in mouse (theiler, 1972) as well as in primates. it seems that the order of organogenesis, i.e. the sequence in which individual organs ... | 1979 | 453550 |
| association of human chromosome 14 with a ts defect in g1 of chinese hamster k12 cells. | somatic cell hybrids between human lymphoblastoid cells (raji) and temperature-sensitive chinese hamster cells (k12) were selected from monolayer cultures in mem at 40 degrees c. a total of 21 hybrid clones were isolated and karyotyped. all clones contained a near complete set of chinese hamster chromosomes and 1 to 5 human chromosomes. human chromosome 14 present in the hybrid cells of all clones; and was the only human chromosome retained in 10 clones. the presence of human chromosome 14 in hy ... | 1979 | 455493 |
| induction of sister-chromatid exchanges in human lymphocytes and chinese hamster cells exposed to aflatoxin b1 and n-methyl-n-nitrosourea. | the effect of a 1-h exposure to aflatoxin b1 (afb1) in inducing sister-chromatid exchange in chinese hamster ovary (cho) cells and human lymphocytes in the presence or absence of mixed function oxidase ("s9 mix") was compared. cho cells were also exposed to a graded series of doses of n-methyl-n-nitrosourea, a powerful inducer of sce whose action was independent of the presence or absence of s9 mix. cho and human cells showed a close correlation in response to sce induction by afb1 and in both c ... | 1979 | 460293 |
| the excision of n-methyl-n-nitrosourea-induced lesions from the dna of chinese hamster cells as measured by the loss of sites sensitive to an enzyme extract that excises 3-methylpurines but not o6-methylguanine. | an enzyme extract from micrococcus luteus excises 3-methyladenine and 3-methylguanine but not o6-methylguanine, 7-methylguanine, 1-methyladenine or 7-methyladenine from dna reacted with n-methyl-n-nitrosourea. the extract was used to detect lesions in the dna of chinese hamster cells treated in culture with n-methyl-n-nitrosourea. it was concluded that 3-methyladenine is excised from these cells with a half-life of about 2.3 h. | 1979 | 467426 |
| mutagenicity of quercetin and kaempferol on cultured mammalian cells. | mutagenic activity of quercetin and kaempferol on v79 chinese hamster cells was investigated. quercetin was proved to have mutagenicity not only by metabolic activation system using rat liver microsomes, but also by direct application method. kaempferol was mutagenic by metabolic activation system, but its activity by direct method seemed very low. these data suggest that the tested flavonoids seem to be metabolized for exerting their mutagenic activity and v79 cells themselves have an enzymic a ... | 1979 | 467892 |
| mutagenicity of vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride and chloroprene in v79 chinese hamster cells. | the mutagenicity of vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride (1,1-dichloroethylene) and chloroprene (2-chloro-1,3-butadiene) was tested in v79 chinese hamster cells in the presence of a 15 000 x g liver supernatant from phenobarbitone-pre-treated rats and mice. mutations in terms of 8-azaguanine and ouabain resistance were induced in a dose-related fasion by exposure to vapour of vinyl chloride in the presence of liver supernatant from phenobarbitone-pretreated rats. vapours of vinylidene chloride an ... | 1979 | 470972 |
| mutagenicity testing on chinese hamster v79 cells treated in the in vitro liver perfusion system. comparative investigation of different in vitro metabolising systems with dimethylnitrosamine and benzo[a]pyrene. | a comparative study of three in vitro metabolising systems was performed in combination with chinese hamster v79 cells, at which point mutation to 6-thioguanine resistance was scored. the three metabolising systems used were: (1) rat liver microsomal fraction (s9-mix); (2) feeder layer of primary embryonic golden hamster cells, according to hubermann's system; (3) in vitro perfusion of rat liver according to the system of beije et al. as model substances dimethylnitrosamine (dmn) and benzo[a]pyr ... | 1979 | 476853 |
| regional assignment of human genes tpi1, gapdh, ldhb, shmt, and pepb on chromosome 12. | karyological analysis was performed on a series of human-chinese hamster cell hybrids containing deletions of human chromosome 12. chromosome breakage was produced by treatment of the cells with either x-rays or 5-bromodeoxyuridine and near-visible light. the hybrid clones were analyzed for the presence or absence of the following five human gene markers known to be located on chromosome 12: triosephosphate isomerase-1 (tpi1), glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (gapdh), lactate dehydrogen ... | 1979 | 477403 |
| pattern of segregation of chicken hprt phenotype in chinese hamster-chick red blood cell hybrids. | the pattern of segregation of hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (hprt, e.c. 2.4.2.8) was determined in synchronized chinese hamster-chick red blood cell hybrids. three hybrid lines were synchronized at the g1-s boundary. bromodeoxyuridine pulses were subsequently applied throughout the s phase, and the frequency of the segregant clones was determined. it was found that the segregation of the chicken-specific hprt phenotype associated with the loss of a chromosome was potentiated by bromodeo ... | 1979 | 477410 |
| insensitivity of a ricin-resistant mutant of chinese hamster ovary cells to fusion induced by newcastle disease virus. | the role of membrane components in the interaction of cells with newcastle disease virus (ndv) was studied using a ricin-resistant mutant of chinese hamster ovary cells (cho-15b), in which there is a deficiency in distal saccharides at the plasma membrane. compared to the parental wild type, the mutant was shown to be 4- to 10-fold less sensitive to either fusion from without or fusion from within induced by ndv. the mutant and wild type were nearly indistinguishable with respect to other intera ... | 1979 | 480463 |
| vitamin c is positive in the dna synthesis inhibition and sister-chromatid exchange tests. | ascorbate caused a dose-dependent increase in sister-chromatid exchanges (sces) in chinese hamster ovary (cho) cells and in human lymphocytes. moreover, in the dna synthesis inhibition test with hela cells, ascorbate gave results typical of dna-damaging chemicals. catalase reduced sce induction by ascorbate, prevented its cytotoxicity in cho cells, and prevented its effect on hela dna synthesis. ascorbate reduced induction of sce in cho cells by n-methyl-n'-nitro-n-nitrosoguanidine (mnng) by dir ... | 1979 | 481430 |
| mutagenicity of 8-methoxypsoralen and long-wave ultraviolet irradiation in v-79 chinese hamster cells. a first approach to a risk estimate in photochemotherapy. | the effect of 8-methoxypsoralen (8-mop) and long-wave ultraviolet irradiation (uva) on cell killing and mutation induction was studied in v-79 chinese hamster cells. no effect was observed after treatment with 8-mop alone (50 microgram/ml, 4 h), uva alone (9000 j/m2), or 8-mop metabolized by rat-liver microsomes. combined treatment with 8-mop and uva induced both cell killing and mutation. this was also observed under conditions approaching patient treatment with puva photochemotherapy with resp ... | 1979 | 481433 |
| activity of citrinin metabolized by rat and human microsome fractions in clastogenicity and sce assays on chinese hamster v79-e cells. | the mycotoxin citrinin is a potent inducer of chromosomal aberrations in the clastogenicity assay on v79-e cells when metabolized by rat and human liver microsomes. rat and human liver microsomes, standardized on protein content, activate citrinin at equal levels. 5 x 10(-4) m citrinin induces complex translocations in a high frequency as well as defects of chromosomal coiling. higher concentrations are cytotoxic, lower ones are almost inactive. after metabolization of mycotoxin by rat-kidney mi ... | 1979 | 481457 |
| the effect of aphidicolin on adenovirus dna synthesis. | aphidicolin inhibits adenovirus dna replication in hela cells and in a cell-free, infected, nuclear extract in which viral dna is elongated. the compound inhibits alpha dna polymerase, extensively purified from hela cells, but has little or no effect on the beta or gamma dna polymerases similarly purified. aphidicolin does not affect thymidine uptake by cells nor does synthesis as it also inhibits dna replication in uninfected cells. the inhibition by aphidicolin is reversible if the drug is rem ... | 1979 | 482131 |
| misonidazole and mtdq in combination: cytotoxic and radiosensitizing properties in hypoxic mammalian cells. | a combination of misonidazole and mtdq (6,6'-methylene-bis-2,2,4 trimethyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline) has been tested for its radiation-sensitizing properties and cytotoxicity, using chinese hamster v79 cells cultured in vitro. both compounds sensitize hypoxic cells to the effects of x-rays, and when used in combination their sensitizing properties are additive. by contrast, the presence of mtdq completely inhibits the cytotoxicity that misonidazole exhibits towards hypoxic cells. these experiments s ... | 1979 | 486306 |
| cycloheximide-resistance in chinese hamster ovary cells and human fibroblast cells. cytogenetic and biochemical characterization. | cycloheximide(chm)-resistant mutant chinese hamster ovary (cho) and human cells were induced with n-nitrosomethylurea (nmu) and ethyl methanesulfonate (ems); the mutants were viable and showed unlimited growth in the presence of chm (7 x 10(-7) m), whereas this concentration inhibits protein synthesis in vivo as well as in vitro. no numerical or structural chromosomal aberrations were found in the mutant cells. in vitro analysis shows that the ribosomes confer resistance against cycloheximide. | 1979 | 489015 |
| chromosome breaking activity of human feces and its enhancement by transition metals. | chloroform-methanol extracts from human fecal samples were found to contain compounds which induce chromosome aberrations in chinese hamster ovary cells. the induction of chromosome aberrations is stimulated by cu2+ or mn2+ and inhibited by fe2+ or fe3+. addition of catalase to the fecal extract or the mixture of fecal extract and mn2+ reduced the frequency of chromosome aberrations. these properties are indicative of hydroxyradical producing agents. | 1979 | 489168 |
| correlation between cell cycle duration and rna content. | the metachromatic fluorochrome acridine orange was used to differentially stain dna and rna in chinese hamster ovary (cho) cells and in mitogen-stimulated human lymphocytes during their progression through the cell cycle. green and red fluorescence of individual cells, representing cellular dna and rna, respectively, was measured by flow cytometry. cho cells were synchronized by selective detachment at mitosis. their rate of progression through g1 and subsequently through s phase correlated with ... | 1979 | 489667 |
| characterization of the diphtheria toxin-resistance system in chinese hamster ovary cells. | variations in two general classes of diphtheria toxin-resistant mutants which may be selected from chinese hamster ovary (ch0-k1) cells and the conditions for their selection are described. the resistance of class i mutants can be overcome with increasing concentrations of toxin. their entire complement of ef-2 is susceptible to adp-ribosylation by toxin. class i includes those strains in which resistance resides at the level of the plasma membrane. the resistance of class ii, translational, mut ... | 1979 | 494060 |

| induction of ouabain-resistant mutation and sister chromatid exchanges in chinese hamster cells with chemical carcinogens mediated by human pulmonary macrophages. | pulmonary macrophages (pam) metabolically activated benzo[a]pyrene [b(a)p] and its proximate carcinogenic metabolite, (+/-)trans 7,8-dihydroxy-7,8-dihydrobenzo[a]pyrene (7,8-diol), to ultimate mutagens that were detected in cocultivated chinese hamster v79 cells. increases in the frequency of ouabainresistant (o(r)) mutations and sister chromatid exchanges were found in v79 cells only when they were cocultivated with both pam and the chemical procarcinogens. 7,8-diol caused higher frequencies of ... | 1979 | 500808 |
| sister chromatid exchanges induced in cultured mammalian cells by chromate. | chromate compounds induced sister chromatoid exchanges (sces) and chromosome aberrations in cultured mammalian cells. similar increases in sce frequency were observed in human fibroblasts exposed to the compounds k2cr2o7 and k2cro4. marked increases in sce frequency in cells exposed to chromate for a 48-h period were detected at concentrations between 10(-7) and 10(-6) m. chromosome aberrations (primarily chromatid breaks) were also produced in human cells exposed to k2cro4 at concentrations bet ... | 1979 | 509691 |
| effects of styrene oxide on chromosome aberrations, sister chromatid exchange and hepatic drug biotransformation in chinese hamsters in vivo. | in vivo inhalation exposure to styrene oxide (25, 50, 75 and 100 ppm) for 2, 4 or 20 days (25 ppm only) had no effects on chromosomal aberration rates or sister chromatid exchange (sce) frequencies (brdu/labelling performed in vitro) in the bone marrow cells of chinese hamsters. the only positive response in aberration frequency was obtained when styrene oxide was injected in lethal concentration (500 mg/kg body weight, i.p.) into the animal. one animal out of six showed slightly elevated sce va ... | 1979 | 509693 |
| culture of adult rat lung cells: benzo(a)pyrene metabolism and mutagenesis. | a method is described for obtaining and culturing large numbers of lung cells from normal adult male rats. the lungs were perfused in situ to remove blood cells and then perfused via the trachea with a trypsin-collagenase solution to initiate tissue digestion. the tissue was further digested in the enzyme solution and approximately 2 x 10(8) viable lung cells were obtained per animal. primary cultures contained a mixed cell population. through eight subcultures about 70% of the cell population p ... | 1979 | 511205 |
| amosite, chrysotile and crocidolite asbestos are mutagenic in chinese hamster lung cells. | chinese hamster lung cells cultured in the presence of amosite, chrysotile or crocidolite displayed inhibition of cell growth. phagocytosis of asbestos by cells was observed. amosite and chrysotile appeared to be twice as toxic as crocidolite based on an equal weight/volume basis. induction of 6-thioguanine resistance was studied. after treatment at 10 microgram/cm2 for 24 h, and with a 48-h expression time, numerically the cells did not change significantly from 6-thioguanine-sensitive to 6-thi ... | 1979 | 514306 |
| detection of small amounts of human dna in human-rodent hybrids. | a method of measuring semi-quantitatively small amounts of human dna in irradiated human x mouse and irradiated human x chinese-hamster somatic cell hybrids is described. one method uses molecular hybridization of cell dna bound to nitrocellulose filters with a crna probe to cot 0--1 human dna. alternatively hybrid cell dna is reassociated in solution with a cot 0--1 fraction of nick-translated human dna. formamide buffers give specificity to the reaction. the detection limit of the filter metho ... | 1979 | 521473 |

| adaptation of the influenza virus a2-pol 29/69 to the cells of the chinese hamster lung (chl) and to the cells bhk-21. | in the course of research of the possibilities of adapting the influenza virus serotype a 2-pol 29/69 to bhk-21 and chl cells its production was established in the investigated combinations. an indication of virus replication is an increase in infectious and haemagglutination titres within 48 h after infection and gradual increase in haemadsorption. observation of the influence of trypsin (10 microgram/ml) indicates that trypsin increases the capability of viruses to penetrate the cells. the cyt ... | 1979 | 535814 |
| selecting interspecific human-mouse and chinese hamster-mouse hybrids using a new half-selection technique with a polyene antibiotic. | interspecific human-mouse and chinese hamster-mouse hybrids were isolated from polyethylene glycol fused cells by a new half-selection technique employing a structurally modified polyene macrolide antibiotic, amphotericin b methyl ester (ame), and hat media. unfused parental cells were killed as a result of innate sensitivity to ame or their genetic deficiency, absence of thymidine kinase (tk-) or hypoxanthine guanine-phosphoribosyl transferase (hgprt-). in contrast, hybrid colonies were isolate ... | 1979 | 541268 |
| isolation and characterization of tunicamycin resistant mutants from chinese hamster ovary cells. | stable clones selected for resistance to tunicamycin (tm) have been isolated from chinese hamster ovary (cho) cells. the tmr phenotype is stable for more than nine months in the absence of the drug. the morphology of tmr mutant varies from epitheloid to abnormally elongate. the mutants do not display cross-resistance for cona but are slightly cross-resistant to pha. biochemically labeled membrane proteins and glycoprotein of vesicular stomatitis virus (vsv) grown in the tmr mutants revealed that ... | 1979 | 541348 |
| genetic transmission of moloney leukemia virus: mapping of the chromosomal integration site. | mice genetically transmitting the exogenous moloney leukemia virus (balb/mo) have been previously derived. these animals carried one copy of moloney virus dna (m-mulv) in their germ line and transmitted the virus as a single mendelian gene to the next generation. homozygous balb/mo mice were used to genetically map the m-mulv locus. embryo fibroblasts were fused to established chinese hamster cells and somatic cell hybrids were selected. segregation of mouse chromosomal markers in the hybrids wa ... | 1979 | 544367 |
| destruction of bacterial viruses in serum by heat and radiation under conditions that sustain the ability of serum to support growth of cells in suspended culture. | methods for inactivating bacterial viruses in serum were developed through the use of heat and ionizing radiation, and the effects of these treatments on the growth rates of cultured cells were tested. viruses chosen for this study were the radiation-resistant bacteriphage f2 and heat-resistant phage t4. the viabilities of these phages were reduced more than 2 and 4 orders of magnitude, respectively, by a treatment at 60 degrees c for 30 min followed by 420 krads of ionizing radiation. simultane ... | 1979 | 544633 |
| production of monoclonal antibodies against a cell surface concanavalin a binding glycoprotein. | concanavalin a-binding (con-a)-binding cell surface glycoproteins were isolated, via con a-affinity chromatography, from triton x-100-solubilized chinese hamster ovary (cho) cell plasma membranes. the con a binding glycoproteins isolated in this manner displayed a significantly different profile on sodium dodecyl sulfate--polyacrylamide gels than did the triton-soluble surface components, which were not retarded by the con-a-sepharose column.

| direct linkage of thrombin to its cell surface receptors in different cell types. | when 125i-thrombin was incubated with foreskin fibroblasts, cervical carcinoma cells or fibrosarcoma cells of human origin, or with secondary chick embryo cells or chinese hamster lung cells, it became directly linked to its cell surface receptors. the thrombin-receptor complex (th-r) was derived exclusively from a pool of 125i-thrombin that had become specifically bound to the cell surface. the linkage was probably covalent, since the complex was resistant to boiling in sodium dodecyl sulfate a ... | 1979 | 544938 |
| somatic cell genetic analysis of transgenome integration. | the site of association of the human transgenome and host murine chromosomes was determined in several subclones of a stable human/mouse transformed cell line. chromosomes were transferred from each of three transformed subclones into chinese hamster recipient cells, and selection was applied for the expression of human transgenome-encoded hprt. a series of trispecific microcell hybrids was isolated and characterized for each subclone. evidence is presented that, within a given transformed subc ... | 1979 | 545718 |
| methods to evaluate the effects of toxic materials deposited in the lung on immunity in lung-associated lymph nodes. | intratracheal instillation of sheep red blood cells (srbc) induced a primary immune response in lung-associated lymph nodes of chinese hamsters and fischer-344 rats. few or no anti-srbc antibody forming cells (afc) were found in the spleen or cervical lymph nodes after intratracheal immunization. the number of afc was significantly suppressed in the lung-associated lymph nodes from hamsters exposed by inhalation of 239puo2 and in rats exposed by intratracheal instillation of benzo(a)pyrene (bap) ... | 1979 | 548254 |
| transcription and hybridization of 125i-crna from flow sorted chromosomes. | metaphase chromosomes from the chinese hamster cell line m3-1 were separated by means of a flow sorter. two chromosome fractions were used for this study: a, which consisted of 95% pure chromosome no. 1, and b, which was 90% pure chromosome no. 2. the dna of 10(6) chromosomes of each type was purified, and a 125i-crna transcript was synthesized in a reaction containing e. coli rna polymerase and carrier-free 125i-ctp (1.7 ci/mumole). the crna product synthesized with template dna from 10(5) sort ... | 1979 | 428270 |
| the effect of maternally inhaled styrene on embryonal and foetal development in mice and chinese hamsters. | pregnant mice and chinese hamsters were exposed to styrene 6 hrs daily during the period of major organogenesis via inhalation in concentrations 250 p.p.m., and 300, 500, 750 and 1000 p.p.m., respectively. both in mice and in chinese hamsters embryotoxicity was raised. some minor skeletal malformations (rib fusions, extra ribs) were noted in mice but not in chinese hamsters. | 1980 | 7435197 |
| the sce-inducing capacity of vitamin c: investigations in vitro and in vivo. | in contrast with results in vitro, vitamin c did not lead to an induction of sister-chromatid exchanges (sces) in the bone marrow of chinese hamsters in the sce test in vivo. the test dose ranged from 200 to 10 000 mg/kg body weight and was administered orally as well as by intraperitoneal injection. sulfhydryl compounds such as cysteine and glutathione inhibited the sce induction by vitamin c in vitro owing to their reducing capacity. these results are discussed with regard to the primary damag ... | 1980 | 7432363 |
| vinyl chloride: an example for evaluating mutagenic effects in mammals in vivo after exposure to inhalation. | as part of a programme of investigations on the mutagenic effects in mammals in vivo after inhalation of environmental chemicals, the effects of the industrial compound vinyl chloride (vc) was analysed. chinese hamsters were exposed to 1.25%, 2.5% or 5% (v/v) vc in air for 6, 12 or 24 hr. bone marrow chromosomes were analysed for induced chromosome aberrations and sister-chromatid exchanges (sces) 26 h after beginning of exposure. the frequency of vc-induced chromosome aberrations and sces both ... | 1980 | 7396717 |
