spontaneous release of endogenous ecotropic type c virus from rat embryo cultures.type c viruses were isolated from embryo cultures of two different rat strains, sprague-dawley and fischer. both viruses (termed rat leukemia virus, ralv) were released spontaneously from rat embryo cells, have a density of 1.14 to 1.15 g/cm(3) based on equilibrium sedimentation in sucrose gradients, contain 60-70s rna, rna-directed dna polymerase, and rat type c virus-specific 30,000 molecular-weight-protein determinants. molecular hybridization studies using the sprague-dawley ralv 60-70s rna ...197658077
sequence homology between moloney murine sarcoma virus and moloney leukemia virus rna.the moloney murine sarcoma-leukemia virus [m-msv (mulv)], propagated at high multiplicity of infection (moi), was demonstrated previously to contain a native genome mass of 4 x 10(6) daltons as contrasted to a mass of 7 x 10(6) daltons for moloney murine leukemia virus (m-mulv). the 4 x 10(6)-dalton classof rna from m-msv (mulv) was examined for base sequence homology with dna complementary to the 7 x 10(6)-dalton m-mulv rna genome. approximately 86% of the m-msv (mulv) was protected from rnase ...197659817
immunological properties of murine thymus-dependent lymphocyte surface glycoproteins.the immunological properties of two murine thymus-dependent (t) lymphocyte surface glycoproteins, t200 and t25, were investigated. t200 is a lymphocyte-specific antigen with a high degree of species specificity. it shares antigenic determinants with molecules present on thymus-independent (b) lymphocytes. t25 has antigenic determinants which cross-react with antigens on mouse brain, rat thymocytes and rat brain. an antiserum against a purified rat brain glycoprotein which carries thy-1.1 reacts ...197661878
revertants of human cells transformed by murine sarcoma virus.revertants of nonproducer human osteosarcoma (np/khos) cells induced by kirsten murine sarcoma virus were isolated after incubating at high temperature (40.5 degrees c) overnight and subcloning at 36 degrees c. the morphologic variants, from which murine sarcoma virus could no longer be rescued, had growth properties similar to those of the nontransformed, parent human osteosarcoma cells and did not release rna-dependent dna polymerase activity. these revertants were nontumorigenic in nude mice. ...197662397
'glioblastoma'. induction of a reproducible autochonous tumor in rats with murine sarcoma virus.inoculation of 0.02 ml of high-titer kirsten strain murine sarcoma virus into the brains of 10-day-old wistar/furth rats yields, with 100 percent incidence, a uniform glioblastoma-like tumor within 16 days. light and electronmicroscopy confirmed the neuroectodermal origin of the parenchymal cells. the remarkable vascular component was studied with extracellular tracers. the permeability of the abnormal endothelium to constituents of the blood vascular compartment was confirmed. accessory vascula ...1976174026
a comparison of membrane glycoconjugates from mouse cells transformed by murine and primate rna sarcoma viruses.kirsten murine sarcoma virus (ki-msv) transformed balb/et3 mouse cells (k-balb) were found to have altered membrane glycoconjugates compared to normal balb/3t3 cells. there were reduced amounts of mono- and disialogangliosides, gm1 and gd1a, and activity of the specific galactosyltransferase required for synthesis of these gangliosides was reduced to between 0 and 18.5% of normal in the several k-balb clones examined. when fucose-labeled glycopeptides derived from the surfaces of balb/3t3 and k- ...1976174712
altered microfilament structure in cells transformed with a temperature-sensitive transformation mutant of murine sarcoma virus.the structure and distribution of microfilaments were examined by electron microscopy in uninfected normal rat kidney (nrk) cells, murine sarcoma virus (msv)-transformed nrk cells, and nrk cells infected with a cold-sensitive transformation mutant of msv, i.e., nrk (msv-1b) cells, grown at both permissive (39 degrees) and nonpermissive (33 degrees) temperature. the uninfected cells contained numerous microfilaments which were especially prominent at sites of intercellular adherens junctions. in ...1976174810
recent studies on the identification of proliferative abnormalities and of oncogenic potential of cutaneous cells in individuals at increased risk of colon cancer.this recent study describes the growth characteristics of acr skin fibroblasts in culture and their differential susceptibility to transformation by kirsten murine sarcoma virus (ki-msv). the sf were derived from normal appearing subepidermoid biopsies of acr individuals, their progeny and ocntrols. normal sf were contact-inhibited and grew only in 15% fcs. sf of acr subjects, and some asymptomatic acr progeny were not contact inhibited, grew in both 1% and 15% fcs and were considerably more sus ...197611561
modification of the phenotype of murine sarcoma virus-transformed cells by sodium butyrate. effects on morphology and cytoskeletal elements. 1976185074
autogenous humoral immunity to baboon xenotropic endogenous type c virus.a radioimmune precipitation assay was used to evaluate the humoral immune response of baboons (papio cynocephalus) to their endogenous, xenotropic, type c (m7) virus. using 125i or [3h]leucine-labeled intact virus preparation, we demonstrated that baboons possess naturally occurring virus-binding antibodies to this virus. antibody appeared directed against envelope and not internal viral proteins. immunoglobulins responsible for virus-binding were predominant in the igg and iga serum fractions, ...1976185400
cellular immunity to murine sarcoma virus-induced tumors as measured by macrophage migration inhibition assays.c57bl/6n mice immunized with regressor murine sarcoma virus (musv) were studied at different times after inoculation for their cellular immune responses as measured by migration inhibition assays. we used both the direct capillary and indirect agarose dropiet methods and, as the source of antigens, viable tumor cells and 3 m kcl-solubilized extracts. migration inhibitory factor (mif) production coulctivity becoming undetectable after 21 days. however, the level of activity and the kinetics of pr ...1977200758
localization of meso-tetra(p-sulfophenyl)porphine in murine sarcoma virus-induced tumor-bearing mice.meso-tetra(p-sulfophenyl)porphine (tpps4) has been found to accumulate in the tumors of mice bearing a murine sarcoma virus-induced rhabdomyosarcoma to a greater degree than in all other tissues except for the kidney. tumor to tissue ratios of from 3:1 (tumor to liver) to 9:1 (tumor to muscle) were observed. the uptake of tpps4 was found to be dose dependent, and the highest tumor to tissue ratios were found 96 hours after injection. the water-soluble tpps4 appears to be cleared through the kidn ...1977201378
suppressor cell regulation of immune response to tumors: abrogation by adult thymectomy.the regulatory role of the adult thymus on the appearance of cytotoxic and suppressor t cells (thymus-derived lymphocytes) to allogeneic and autochthonous virus-induced tumors in mice was investigated. it was demonstrated that c57bl/6 mice challenged with allogeneic p815 mastocytoma cells and complete freund's adjuvant failed to develop cytotoxic cells but instead developed suppressor t cells which inhibited cytotoxic t cell function. further, adjuvant-induced suppressor cells prevented the prim ...1977197528
genetics of murine sarcoma virus (msv)--induced tumors in akr mice: evidence that late progressing and early regressing tumors are controlled by different gents.the genetics of late appearing msv tumors showing a progressive growth pattern in akr mice was investigated. the late msv tumor response in f1 hybrids depended on the genetic background of the non-akr parent. within the 4-month observation period following virus injection, (cba x akr) f1, (dba/2 x akr)f1, and (nih x akr)f1 developed progressing msv tumors, which exhibited latency and growth behavior comparable to that seen in akr mice, (balb x akr)f1, (b6 x akr)f1, and (b10br x akr)f1 mice did n ...197766212
the murine sarcoma virus-induced tumor: exception or general model in tumor immunology? 197766859
search for oncogenic viruses in human prostate cancer.electron microscopic, immunologic, and biochemical methods have been used in an attempt to detect and characterize oncornaviruses in human prostatic carcinoma (pca) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (bph), and in prostates of mice of high and low mammary cancer or leukemia strains. ultrastructural examination of 37 pca and nine bph specimens has revealed the presence of particles resembling type c virus in five cases of pca and one of bph, and also two different types of intracisternal virus-like ...197768817
phosphorylation and nucleic acid binding properties of m1 moloney murine sarcoma virus-specific pp60gag.the pp60gag polyprotein of the feline leukemia virus pseudotype of m1 moloney murine sarcoma virus [m1msv(felv)] was previously shown to be msv specific and to contain murine p30 and smaller structural polypeptides. this protein was detected in m1msv-transformed cells, and in pulse-chase studies it was found to be stable. in this study virion p60 was shown to contain murine pp12, to be phosphorylated, and to bind to nucleic acids. 32p-labeled m1msv[felv) was fractionated by guanidine agarose chr ...197769721
isolation of a type c rna virus from an established human histiocytic lymphoma cell line.a type c rna virus has been detected in the culture fluids of the su-dhl-1 human histiocytic lymphoma cell line previously established in this laboratory. in electron micrographs, the virus closely resembled other typical mammalian type c rna tumor viruses in size and morphology. viral rna-dependent dna polymerase activity has been demonstrated in particles (densities of 1.15 and 1.22 g/ml) in the microsomal cytoplasmic fraction and in pellets of culture fluids. the enzyme is partially inhibited ...197770039
lack of expression of type c hamster virus after neoplastic transformation of hamster embryo fibroblasts by benzo(a)pyrene.syrian hamster embryo fibroblasts transformed in vitro with benzo(a)pyrene were analyzed for the presence of type c viral components, including extra- and intracellular reverse transcriptase activity, intracellular type c hamster virus-related rna, and cellular hamster virus group-specific antigen. no evidence could be obtained for the presence of any of these components, although they were easily detectable in hamster fibroblasts producing either b-34 virus (a hamster virus pseudotype of harvey ...197771196
heparan sulfates of mouse cells. analysis of parent and transformed 3t3 cell lines.heparan sulfate from the surface of a variety of mouse cells at different cell densities was examined by ion-exchange chromatography. the results of this analysis show that: (1) the heparan sulfate from new isolates of swiss 3t3 cells transformed by sv40 virus (a dna tumor virus) elutes from deae-cellulose at a lower ionic strength than that from the parent cell type. this finding confirms our earlier observation with an established sv40-transformed cell line (underhill and keller, '75) and elim ...1977137910
interruption of oncornavirus replication by modified rifamycin antibiotics.thirteen rifamycin sv derivatives containing 3'-alkylaminomethyl substituents fail to inhibit the activities of the simian sarcoma virus type 1 dna polymerase, and of cellular dna, rna, and poly(a) polymerases prepared from nih swiss mouse embryos. these compounds show a range in their toxicities for nih swiss mouse 3t3 cells and in their capacities to inhibit production of foci of morphologically altered cells by murine sarcoma virus (msv). three compounds--the n-methyl-n-hydroxyethylaminomethy ...197781643
association of the glycolipid pattern with antigenic alterations in mouse fibroblasts transformed by murine sarcoma virus.the level of the neutral glycolipid, galnac beta 1 leads to 4 gal beta 1 leads to 4glc leads to cer (asialo gm2), in balb/c 3t3 mouse fibroblasts transformed by kirsten murine sarcoma virus (3t3kimsv) was greatly increased compared to the nontransformed parental cells (3t3). this elevated chemical quantity was found to be localized on the surface of intact cells and accessible to external reagents, as detected by immunofluorescence and labeling with galactose oxidase: nab3h4. furthermore, immuni ...1977192447
murine sarcoma virus pseudotypes used as immunogens against viral and chemical oncogenesis.the purpose of this study was to develop an animal system of protective immunity against oncornaviruses and to test whether such immunization had an inhibitory effect upon chemical sarcomagenesis. several murine sarcoma virus (msv) pseudotypes were used as immunogens and tested against themselves, against other pseudotypes, against leukemogenesis by their helper viruses, and against sarcomagenesis by 3-methylcholanthrene. five msv pseudotypes were obtained by rescuing complete msv from msv-genom ...1977192461
relationships between h-2 and viral antigens in murine oncornavirus-induced tumours.cytolytic t lymphocytes (ctl) from murine sarcoma virus (msv) or friend leukaemia virus (flv) inoculated mice lyse syngeneic much more efficiently than allogeneic fmrgi+ lymphoma cells. by comparing the cytolysis of various h-2 different 51cr lymphomas by ctl from several inbred and congenic lines differing at h-2, and by competition experiments using unlabelled cells, one can demonstrate that this phenomenon is due to an h-2 barrier. h-2b/h-2d hybrid-anti-msv-ctl immunized by h-2b, h-2d or h-2b ...1977192802
genetic studies of the ploidy of moloney murine leukemia virus.an assay for moloney murine leukemia virus was developed that made use of the production of morphologically altered foci in nonproducer mouse cells (15f) carrying murine sarcoma virus. wild-type (wt) virus gave a ratio of titers at 39 degrees c/34degrees c = 1.05 +/- 0.45 (standard deviation;n = 20). a spontaneous, thermosensitive (ts) mutant of moloney murine leukemia virus, ts3, defective in a late viral function, gave 39 degrees c/34degrees c = 0. a murine cell line (tb) was mixedly infected ...1977192918

growth of murine sarcoma virus-transformed rat kidney cells in nude mice: absence of induction of host endogenous viruses.clonal isolates of the normal rat kidney cell line (nrk) transformed by a defective murine sarcoma virus (kirsten strain) were injected into nude mice of balb/c background to determine whether the growth of these cells as tumors was accompanied by the induction of host endogenous type c viruses. all the virus-transformed clones produced rapidly growing tumors in nude mice, but neither the induction of mouse endogenous viruses nor the rescue and spread of the transforming sarcoma virus were obser ...1977194043
feline oncornavirus-associated cell membrane antigen: expression in transformed nonproducer mink cells.the feline oncornavirus-associated cell membrane antigen (focma) is a target for naturally occurring immunity that protects the cat against development of fibrosarcoma and leukemia. feline sarcoma virus-transformed "nonproducer" mink cells express high levels of focma, but not the major viral structural proteins. transformation of the same cells by murine sarcoma virus, or infection with feline leukemia virus, which is nontransforming for epithelial or fibroblastic cells, did not induce focma. t ...1977194310
inherited resistance to n- and b-tropic murine leukemia viruses in vitro. effect of the fv-1 locus on the rescue of a replication-defective and transformation-defective murine sarcoma virus in the fv-1 congenic strains sim.s and sim.r. 1977194408
in vitro translation of harvey murine sarcoma virus rna.the viral rna of the harvey strain of murine sarcoma virus (ha-sv), which does not encode for any known viral structural polypeptides, has been translated in a nuclease-digested, cell-free system. the major protein product of the in vitro translation reaction has a molecular weight of 21,000 and is initiated faithfully with [35s]formylmethionine from formyl-[35s]methionyl-trnafmet. this polypeptide is clearly distinct from the rna of the moloney strain of type c helper virus used to pseudotype t ...1977195086
propagation of a b-tropic murine leukemia virus in n-type cells in the presence of different murine sarcoma viruses.b-tropic mulv, wn1802b, was converted to nb-tropic after 5 days of propagation in its nonpermissive n-type mlg or c3h2k cells in the presence of the s + l - musv, but not in the presence of the harvey or kirsten strains of mssv.1977195914
characterization to effector lymphocytes associated with immunity to murine sarcoma virus (msv)-induced tumors. ii. repeated stimulation and proliferation in vitro of specific cytolytic t lymphocytes. 1977196025
exclusive involvement of h-2db or h-2kd product in the interaction between t-killer lymphocytes and syngeneic h-2b or h-2d viral lymphomas.it was demonstrated previously that the cytolysis of murine viral lymphoma cells by anti-murine sarcoma virus (msv) syngeneic t-killer lymphocytes was restricted by some products of the h-2 complex. the respective role of the products of different regions of the h-2 complex were studied with six h-2(b) and three h-2(d) lymphomas induced by five different type c viruses. they were tested in a classical chromium release test against anti-msv t-killer cells obtained from different inbred strains of ...1977197198
isolation and preliminary characterization of temperature-sensitive mutants of the murine sarcoma leukaemia virus complex.five temperature-sensitive mutants (ts i to 5) were isolated from a stock of the moloney strain of murine sarcoma leukaemia virus complex which had been mutagenized by ultraviolet irradiation or n-methyl-n'-nitro-n-nitrosoguanidine. in mouse cells at the non-permissive temperature the mutants formed fewer foci of transformed cells than at the permissive temperature. the ts mutants were characterized by testing: (i) murine leukaemia virus (mulv) clones from the ts complex, (2) the effect of addit ...1977197202
effect of helper virus on the number of murine sarcoma virus dna copies in infected mammalian cells.cell lines of four mammalian species were each examined for the number of moloney murine sarcoma virus (m-msv) dna copies in total cellular dna after m-msv transformation. sarcoma-positive, leukemia-negative (s+l-) m-msv-transformed cells were compared to m-msv-transformed cells infected with a replicating leukemia virus. both unfractionated m-msv complementary dna and complementary dna representing the msv-specific and the msv-murine leukemia virus-common regions of the m-msv genome were hybrid ...1977197257
relationship between moloney murine leukemia and sarcoma virus rnas: purification and hybridization map of complementary dnas from defined regions of moloney murine sarcoma virus 124.complementary dnas (cdna's) specific for various regions of the moloney murine sarcoma virus (msv) 124 rna genome were prepared by cross-hybridization techniques. a cdna specific for the first 1,000 nucleotides adjacent to the rna 3' end (cdna 3') was prepared and shown to also be complementary to the 3'-terminal 1,000 nucleotides of a related moloney murine leukemia virus (mlv) genome. a cdna complementary to the "msv-specific" portion of the msv 124 genome was prepared. this cdna was shown not ...1977197259

expression of murine sarcoma virus genes in uninfected rat cells subjected to anaerobic sress.exposure of uninfected rat cells in tissue culture to anaerobic culture conditions induces transcription of rna corresponding to the two principal constituents of rat-derived type-c sarcoma virus genomes: (i) those specific rat cell sequences present in the kirsten and harvey murine sarcoma virus genomes, and (ii) an endogenous type-c rat leukemia virus.1977197602
transformation of rat liver epithelial cells by kirsten murine sarcoma virus.we studied the transformation of epithelial, diploid cell lines (rl-33 and rl-34) derived from w rat liver by the kirsten murine sarcoma virus. on days 4-5 after virus infection, the epithelial cells began to pile up focally, forming small projections and releasing round cells from the foci. the epithelial cells grew in chains or as islets and grew in suspension above the cells attached to the bottom of the flasks when the cultures reached the confluent stage. the virus titration pattern was "o ...1977198567
characterization of gazdar murine sarcoma virus by nucleic acid hybridization and analysis of viral expression in cells.gazdar murine sarcoma virus (gz-msv) and moloney murine sarcoma virus (m-msv) are closely related. the complete m-msv-specific nucleic acid sequences constituted a major portion of gz-msv-specific sequences. the msv-specific sequences in both gz-msv and m-msv genomes shared homology with hamster leukemia virus nucleic acid sequences. both rat cells (s+l+) and hamster (s+l-) cells expressed two viral proteins of 68,000 and 70,000 daltons. these proteins were immunologically related to p60 purifie ...1977199741
density-dependent changes in hexose transport, glycolytic enzyme levels, and glycolytic rates, in uninfected and murine sarcoma virus-transformed rat kidney cells. 1977201477
detection of human c-type "helper" viruses in human leukemic bone marrow with murine sarcoma virus-transformed human and rat non-producer cells.bone-marrow cells from two leukemic children were co-cultivated with the leukemic children a 7573. in early passages, c-type oncornaviruses were released as detected by extracellular reverse transcriptase assay. co-cultivation of the infected canine cells with the non-producing cell lines r-970-5 (human) or k-nrk (rat) both transformed by kirsten mouse sarcoma virus (msv) yielded a new pseudotype of msv that could transform rat embryo, rabbit sirc and human kidney cells but not mouse embryo cell ...1977188771
transformation of cultured rat adrenocortical cells by kirsten murine sarcoma virus (ki-msv).two-week-old primary cultures of normal adult rat adrenal cortex were exposed to kirsten murine sarcoma virus (kimsv). within a week, the adrenal cells, which are normally fusiform and aligned in parallel, became pleomorphic and piled up extensively. saturation density increased from 5-10 x 10(4) to 5-10 x 10(5) cells/cm2, population doubling time during exponential growth decreased from 36-40 to 16h, acid production increased and the growth rate became independent of a reduction in serum concen ...1977188772
rate of divergence of cellular sequences homologous to segments of moloney sarcoma virus.the rna genome of the moloney isolate of murine sarcoma virus (m-msv) consists of two parts--a sarcoma-specific region with no homology to known leukemia viral rnas, and a shared region present also in moloney murine leukemia virus rna. complementary dna was isolated which was specific for each part of the m-msv genome. the dna of a number of mammalian species was examined for the presence of nucleotide sequences homologous with the two m-msv regions. both sets of viral sequences had homologous ...1977189062
standardization of the chromium-51 release, cell-mediated cytotoxicity assay: cryopreservation of mouse effector and target cells.utilizing controlled cryopreservation techniques, we were able to standardize the 51cr release cytotoxicity assay and thereby ensured reliable comparisons between results obtained on different days. optimal conditions for freezing of both effector and target cells were quite similar. dimethyl sulfoxide (dmso) at a concentration of 7.5-10.0% was employed as the cryoprotective agent and cells were frozen at the rate of -1 degrees c/minute. the handling procedures for the cells before and after fre ...1977839557
a heteroduplex study of the sequence relationships between the rnas of m-msv and m-mlv.the regions of sequence homology between the rna genomes of a murine sarcoma virus (clone 124 moloney-msv) and its parental helper virus (clone 3 moloney-murine leukemia virus (m-mlv)) have been mapped. long complementary dna transcripts of the m-mlv rna were hybridized to m-msv rna, and the structures of the hybrids were observed in the electron microscope. beginning at the 5' end, the two rnas are homologous for a region of length 2.25 kb (kilobases). in the next region, of length approximatel ...1977844103
augmentation of natural cytotoxic reactivity of mouse lymphoid cells against syngeneic and allogeneic target cells.the levels of natural cell-mediated cytotoxicity against tumor cells in young balb/c and balb/c nude mice could be augmented by inoculation of a variety of mouse tumor cells or of mouse thymocytes. in older mice with low levels of spontaneous cytotoxic reactivity, inoculation of tumor cells led to rapid appearance of cytotoxicity. this augmented cytotoxicity reached a peak 3 days after inoculation and then declined rapidly. the specificity of the augmented cytotoxicity appeared to be the same as ...1977844921
defective friend spleen focus-forming virus: interfering properties and isolation free from standard leukemia-inducing helper virus.defective friend spleen focus-forming virus (sffv) is able to interfere with the ability of its naturally occurring leukemia-inducing helper virus (llv-f) to induce xc plaque formation in several different strains of mouse embryo cells. this interference has been observed by using two different sffv preparations, one contained in an nb-tropic stock of friend virus (fv) complex, and the second present in a c57bl-adapted strain of fv complex containing an associated b-tropic llv-f helper. the llv- ...1977904028
phenotypic markers in human skin fibroblasts as possible diagnostic indices of hereditary adenomatosis of the colon and rectum.hereditary adenomatosis of the colon and rectum (acr) and its gardner's syndrome variant, an autosomal dominant trait, indicate a propensity for neoplasia. the present study describes the growth abnormalities of cultured human skin fibroblasts derived from normal-appearing cutaneous biopsies of acr genotypes and a portion of the clinically asymptomatic acr progeny, first filial generation, and their differential susceptibility to transformation by kirsten murine sarcoma virus. these skin fibrobl ...1977922693
murine sarcoma viruses: the helper-independence reported for a moloney variant is unconfirmed; distinct strains differ in the size of their rnas. 1977189494
effect of pretreatment with immune serum on murine sarcoma virus (moloney) tumour induction and growth.regressor serum from msv-m-infected mice markedly reduced msv-m oncogenesis when administered i.p. (0-1 ml/mouse) as much as 30 days before i.m. msv-m infection in adult balb/c mice. the regressor serum activity appeared to be directly dependent on the amount of igg, as shown by: (1) inactivity of sera which have low virus-neutralizing antibody content; (2) high effectiveness only of the igg serum fraction; (3) inactivity of regressor serum incubated with anti-mouse gamma-globulin serum. the reg ...1977189792
differential genetic susceptibility of cultured human skin fibroblasts to transformation by kirsten murine sarcoma virus.hereditary adenomatosis of the colon and rectum (acr), an autosomal dominant trait, is associated with a predisposition to neoplasia. the present study describes the differential genetic susceptibility of cultured human skin fibroblasts to transformation by kirsten murine sarcoma virus. primary cutaneous outgrowths were derived from normal appearing subepidermal biopsies of acr phenotypes and appropriate controls. exponentially growing cell cultures from acr subjects and a portion of the clinica ...1977189938

loss of fv-1 restriction in balb/3t3 cells following infection with a single n tropic murine leukemia virus particle.the ability of various murine leukemia viruses (mulvs) to replicate in mouse cells exhibiting fv-1 restriction was analyzed by quantitative dose-response assays. in particular, the effect of infection with n, b, or nb tropic mulvs on fv-1b restriction in balb/3t3 cells was measured with an infection center technique in which pseudotypes of murine sarcoma virus (msv), which have been shown to exhibit fv-1 dependence of expression, were used to quantitate the degree of restriction. the resulting d ...1977191197
stimulation of mouse migration inhibitory factor (mif) production form msv-immune lymphocytes by soluble tumor-associated antigen: requirement for histocompatible macrophages.spleen cells from c57bl/6 mice immunized with murine sarcoma virus (msv) are capable of producing migration inhibition factor (mif) in response to stimulation with a specific tumor-associated antigen prepared by solubilization with 3 m kcl. we have previously demonstrated that this response is t cell-dependent. further investigations into the effector cells involved in the production of mif have revealed that spleen cells from mice immunized with msv cannot produce mif when stimulated with tumor ...1977191532
enhancement of tumor induction in rats with moloney murine sarcoma virus by a "new" method based on direct injection into fetuses.undiluted, fivefold-diluted, and 25-fold-diluted doses of a stock of moloney murine sarcoma virus were injected directly, in a volume of 0.025 ml, into the backs of fetal sprague-dawley rats by laparotomy through the uterine wall at 18 days of gestation. during the first 8 weeks after birth the young responded to the virus with remarkably high but dose-dependent incidences of neoplasms. when a one-fifth dilution of the virus preparation was inoculated at fetal ages 16, 18, and 20 days, the incid ...1977264591
intratibial moloney sarcoma virus-induced osteosarcoma in the rat: tumor incidence and pathologic evaluation.osteosarcomas were induced in approximately 80% of young new zealand black rats by the intratibial inoculation of moloney murine sarcoma virus from day 1 to day 5 after birth. the neoplasms were composed of a spectrum of well-differentiated to poorly differentiated osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts. budding of c-type viral particles was associated with tumor induction. compared to rats inoculated on day 1 after birth, rats inoculated at 4 days of age developed consistently more osteoproli ...1977264594
cleavage map of linear mouse sarcoma virus dna.proviral dna transcribed from the rna of moloney murine sarcoma virus was isolated from newly infected cells. three forms of viral dna were observed: (i) a linear double-stranded form of 3.4 x 10(6) daltons which constituted the major viral dna species in the cell, and is thought to be a complete transcript (monomer) of viral rna; (ii) a fast-sedimenting viral dna bigger than the monomeric unit which can be either integrated provirls or concatamers; and (iii) covalently closed circles of monomer ...1977264682
characterization of human cells transformed in vitro by n-methyl-n'-nitro-n-nitrosoguanidine.human osteosarcoma (hos) clonal cells transformed in vitro by n-methyl-n'-nitro-n-nitrosoguanidine (mnng) were characterized, and compared to non-producer hos cells transformed by kirsten murine sarcoma virus (ki-msv). the mnng- and virus-transformed cells grew in the aggregate form above an agar base, grew in soft agar, and had a high fibrinolytic activity. when inoculated into nude mice, all the chemically or virally altered cells produced tumors or tumor nodules. when transplanted into ats-tr ...1977265298
pathology of neoplasms and other lesions induced in rats with moloney murine sarcoma virus.moloney murine sarcoma virus (m-msv) was injected directly into the fetuses of sprague-dawley rats during the late stage of gestation and into the neonates within 24 hours after birth. ninety rats developed 188 neoplastic lesions during the 8-week period of observation. nearly all of the neoplasms were of mesenchymal derivation. sixty percent of these neoplasms revealed more complex histologic features than those previously reported for neoplasms induced in rodents with m-msv and were designated ...1977266356
