demonstration of an analogue to human pregnancy zone protein in the african green monkey.a serum protein in the grivet (cercopithecus aethiops), immunologically cross-reacting with human pregnancy zone protein (pzp), is found in males as well as in nonpregnant females. the electrophoretic mobility, antigenic cross-reactivity, molecular weight, and carbohydrate structure appear analogous to pzp; however, contrary to the situation in man, exogenous estrogens cause a fall in serum concentration of the protein.197994099
modulation by cell trypsinization of sendai virus expression in african green monkey kidney cells: first infection and establishment of a carrier state.two african green monkey kidney (agmk) cell lines, 37rc (interferon-producing) and vero (non-interferon-producing), were infected by egg-grown sendai virus passaged in eggs at high and low m.o.i. the appearance of haem-adsorption, and cytopathic effect (c.p.e.) as well as the presence of haemagglutinating virions in the supernates were much more pronounced with a virus seed obtained with 10(-3) diluted passages than with a seed obtained with undiluted inoculum. they were also independent of inte ...197994347
simian rotavirus sa-11 plaque formation in the presence of trypsin.incorporation of 5 micrograms of trpsin per ml of the overlay (eagle minimal essential medium-0.7% ionagar no. 2) was found to be necessary for plaque formation by simian rotavirus sa-11. plaques of 3 to 4 mm in diameter were produced in ma-104 cells after 5 days of incubation at 37 degrees c. plaque size was even larger (5 to 6 mm) in monolayers of african green monkey kidney cells. addition of diethyl-aminotheyl-dextran, protamine sulfate, or 5-bromodeoxyuridine to the trypsin-containing overl ...197994597
actin filaments in trabecular endothelial cells in eyes of the vervet monkey. (cercopithecus aethiops).an electron microscopic study was performed on the trabecular meshwork of two monkeys (cercopithecus aethiops). specimens from one animal revealed numerous cytoplasmic filaments of 45-65 a thickness in endothelial cells both on the trabeculae in the wall of schlemm's canal after conventional glutaraldehyde and osmium fixation. using a histochemical technique it was shown in specimens from the other animal that these filaments consist of actin material. this evidence of intracellular actin filame ...197896655
circadian rhythm of cholesterol-7alpha-hydroxylase and cortisol in the african green monkey (cercopithecus aethiops).cholesterol-7alpha-hydroxylase in african green monkey liver had an apparent km of 1.65-10(-4) m cholesterol and a ph optimum of 7.4. the amplitudes of the circadian maxima of enzyme activity and serum cortisol levels were significantly greater in vervets than in grivets. fluctuations in enzyme activity and cortisol levels during the circadian cycle were positively correlated (r = 0.89). enzyme activities and hormone levels were 2.7-fold lower over a 24-h period in the grivet than in the vervet. ...197896863

rosette formation by human lymphoid cells with monkey red blood cells.the present paper describes a study on rosette formation by human lymphoid cells with monkey erythrocytes (mrbc) obtained from two species: african green monkey (cercopithecus aethiops) and rhesus monkey (macaca mulata). all the lymphocyte preparations obtained from peripheral blood, tonsils, thymocytes, bone-marrow and spleen biopsies formed rosettes in variable proportions with erythrocytes obtained from these two monkey species tested. cells of established lymphoblastoid cell lines characteri ...1978100044
the diet and feeding behaviour of cercopithecus aethiops tantalus.the feeding behaviour of representative groups of tantalus monkeys (cercopithecus aethiops tantalus) was observed during 1974-1975 in three habitats in cameroon. observations took place during the wet and dry seasons in sahelian savannah, guinea savannah and farmed forest. the tantalus monkeys were similar to other races of c.aethiops that have been studied in that they were omnivorous and lacked any narrow specialisations of either diet or feeding techniques. the dietary range was similar in al ...1978101428
variations in the blood clotting time and lipid patterns of the nigerian monkey, cercopithecus aethiops tantalus, during captivity.the blood clotting time and serum lipid values of newly-captured nigerian monkeys were determined during the period of adaptation. large fluctuations in serum free and total cholesterol and phospholipid values were observed throughout the 12-week period of investigation. the variations in blood clotting time were not significant (p greater than 0.05). these wide variations in lipid values suggest the need for caution in interpreting data from newly-captured subhuman primates.1978104089
identity of euchromatic bands from man to cercopithecidae (cercopithecus aethiops, cercopithecus sabaeus, erythrocebus patas, and miopithecus talapoin).the karyotypes of four species of cercopithecidae: cercopithecus aethiops tantalus, c. sabaeus, erythrocebus patas, and miopithecus talapoin are analysed with nearly all the banding techniques. they are compared with each other, and with the karyotypes of the baboon p. papio and with that of man. it can be concluded that the quasi-totality or the totality of the euchromatin is common to all, but has undergone structural rearrangements, generally detectable. the heterochromatin, defined by c-band ...1978104920
implications for adult roles from differential styles of mother-infant bonding: an ethological study.ethological observations of maternal and infant behaviors of nine vervet monkey pairs (cercopithecus aethiops sabaeus) showed the effects of differential styles of early maternal responsiveness on later infant competence. those infants receiving the least amount of maternal responsiveness and the most time-off the mother in the first 3 months of development were more socially competent at 6 months of age. the results are discussed within current ethological "attachment" theories. the detachment ...1979105083
developmental staging and thalidomide teratogenicity in the green monkey (cercopithecus aethiops).the developmental stages of 11 cercopithecus aethiops embryos, 24 to 45 days post-mating, are described. the onset of organogenesis in this species is approximately five to seven days later than that reported for macaques and baboons. this temporal difference in the embryonic period is an important factor in the analysis of the subsequent teratogenic study. oral administration of thalidomide in single or multiple (3-day) treatment periods to pregnant green monkeys between days 28 and 33 resulted ...1978105418
resistance of african green monkey kidney cell lines to actinomycin d: drug uptake in 37 rc cells after persistent inhibition of transcription.37 rc cells, a cultured line derived from african green monkey kidneys, survived long treatments with actinomycin d (amd; 0.1 to 0.5 mug/ml) under strong inhibition of ribonucleic acid synthesis and blocking of cell division. one aspect of the complex cellular response to this treatment was a progressive lowering of the influx rate of amd and, consequently, of its endocellular concentration, leading to a late resurgence of transcription. overall protein synthesis decreased in amd-treated cells, ...1979106777
the pathology of untreated and antibiotic-treated experimental tularaemia in monkeys.grivet monkeys were infected intranasally with the virulent schu-s4 strain of f. tularensis. one group of animals remained untreated and two other groups received a 7-day course of kanamycin therapy starting on either the third or fourth day after infection. untreated monkeys developed pyrexia and mucopurulent oculonasal discharge and died 5--7 days after infection. all had pyogranulomatous lesions in the liver, spleen, respiratory tract and lymph nodes. electron microscopy of liver and spleen s ...1978106869
changes in whole blood and serum components of grivet monkeys with experimental respiratory francisella tularensis infection.grivet monkeys infected with virulent francisella tularensis strain schu s4 showed significant early changes in serum levels of trace metals, triglycerides and activities of alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase and alpha-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase. free amino acid levels decreased slightly and there was a marked increase in the phenylalanine: tyrosine ratio. serum lysozyme activity and seromucoid levels also increased. kanamycin therapy produced remission of overt signs but the changes ...1978106870

studies on the organization of the alpha-satellite dna from african green monkey cells using restriction nucleases and molecular cloning.alpha-satellite dna from african green monkey cells was analysed with restriction nucleases in some detail confirming and complementing our earlier results. with ecori and haeiii (or bsuri isoschizomer), about 25 and 10%, respectively, of the satellite dna were cleaved into a series of fragments of the 172 bp repeat length and multiples thereof. to allow studies with fragments of homogeneous sequence unit length, hindiii fragments were covalently joined with the plasmid pbr 313. after transforma ...1979109356
arrangement of a highly repeated dna sequence in the genome and chromatin of the african green monkey.the dna of the african green monkey contains three components that are distinguishable by the kinetics of reassociation. the rapidly reassociating component represents about 20% of the total dna and is composed almost entirely of a sequence (agmr(hindiii)-1) which is repeated 6.8 x 10(6) times. the majority of the agmr(hindiii)-1 sequences are organized in long tandem repeats of a segment of 172 base pairs in length. however, a fraction of the agmr (hindiii)-1 sequences is interspersed with anot ...1979109436
schistosomiasis in omo national park of southwest ethiopia.schistosomiasis mansoni infection was found in more than 50 tourists who had visited omo national park, ethiopia, and bathed and swum in the mui river. a survey revealed schistosoma mansoni infection in 41% of park residents and in 33% of the neighboring suri people. eggs were found in stools and adult worms at autopsy of wild papio anubis and cercopithecus aethiops. trematode larvae were found in 27% of biomphalaria pfeifferi snails found in the mui river. the source of the disease and the impl ...1979110163
comparative normal levels of serum triiodothyronine and thyroxine in nonhuman primates.normative values were obtained for triiodothyronine and thyroxine from four species of old world primate (chimpanzees, rhesus monkeys, african green monkeys and talopoin monkeys) and a single species of new world primate (squirrel monkeys) represented by two subspecies, colombian and bolivian. the bolivian squirrel monkeys exhibited the lowest values for both triiodothyronine and thyroxine. male talapoins had the highest levels of thyroxine. significant differences were found in levels of triiod ...1979110976
incorporation of lysine into y base of phenylalanine trna in vero cells.vero cells, a line derived from african green monkey kidney, contains a hypermodified base, called y, adjacent to the 3' end of the anticodon of trnaphe. two types of evidence are presented suggesting that lysine is involved in biosynthesis of y base in these cells. first, when vero cells are starved for lysine, a new, early-eluting species of trnaphe which lacks the fully modified y base can be detected by reversed phase chromatography (rpc-5). after addition of lysine to the medium, this new s ...1979111226
the effect of oral pancreatic enzymes on the intestinal flora of protein-deficient vervet monkeys challenged with vibrio cholerae.jejunal bacterial flora in 11 protein deficient vervet monkeys (cercopithecus aethiops) and four controls was studied. these were the same animals from an investigation previously reported in which it was shown that pancreatic extract modified the course of cholera infection in protein-deficient monkeys. the present study reports in addition that these animals the fluid in the upper jejunum contained significantly increased numbers of bacteria including enterobacteriaceae compared to its prediet ...1979111538

action of bacterial endotoxin and lipid a on mitochondrial enzyme activities of cells in culture and subcellular fractions.escherichia coli o127:b8 lipopolysaccharide (lps), prepared by the westphal procedure, caused a marked decrease in the activities of mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, and adenylate kinase in african green monkey kidney (vero) cells and primary cultures of mouse liver cells within 2 h after exposure to 10 micrograms of lps/ml of culture medium. these three enzyme activities leaked into the supernatant fraction, and cytochrome oxidase activity was lost from the mouse liv ...1979114491
early endothelial changes in experimental primate atherosclerosis.aortic tissues of cholesterol-fed african green monkeys were studied by light and electron microscopy. the sampled areas were either grossly normal, or showed minute grayish white translucent or yellowish white intimal elevations. samples of topographically corresponding areas from animals on normal diet served as controls. by light microscopy, the intimal elevations were either pure fatty dots or a combination of fatty dots and focal intimal edema. the most conspicuous ultrastructural findings ...1979114709
subunit structure of alpha-satellite dna containing chromatin from african green monkey cells.alpha-satellite dna containing chromatin from african green monkey cells (cv-1 cells) has been used to study the question whether or not nucleosomes are arranged in phase with the 172 bp repeat unit of the satellite dna. digestion experiments with dnaase ii led us to exclude a simple phase relationship between the nucleosomal and the satellite dna repeats. digestion of cv-1 nuclei with micrococcal nuclease and endogenous nuclease (s) produced a series of sharp bands in the satellite dna register ...1979114981
behavioral effects of low, acute doses of d-amphetamine on the dyadic interaction between mother and infant vervet monkeys (cercopithecus aethiops) during the first six postnatal months.doses of d-amphetamine sulfate (0.1, 0.15, and 0.2 mg/kg body weight) were given to adult monkeys in mother-infant pairs. the fundamental parental care behavior pattern was disrupted and the mother became isolated in a socially withdrawn phase. she did not respond to the calling signals of the infant and showed behavior in which stereotyped self-grooming and/or 'staring' into space were predominant. the reactions of the infant to this amphetamine-induced behavior were different in the two experi ...1979115045
social isolation and other behavioral changes in groups of adult vervet monkeys (cercopithecus aethiops) produced by low, nonchronic doses of d-amphetamine.doses (0.1--0.7 mg/kg body weight) d-amphetamine were administered to three independent groups of green vervet monkeys (cerecopithecus aethiops). each group formed a triad with one male and two females. amphetamine changed both the individual and the social behavior patterns significantly. stereotypy and social isolation (withdrawal) were characteristic features of the amphetaminized animals. also stereotyped social grooming was observed. the results are discussed in relation to behavior changes ...1979116271
surveys of simian malaria in japan.the survey of simian malaria in japan which had been conducted since 1965 showed that no japanese monkeys (macaca fuscata fuscata and macaca fuscata yakui) were infected with malaria parasites. most interestingly, however, babesia sp. was found in 4 (4.3%) of 93 macaca fuscata yakui which had been reared in a monkey park. as for the monkeys imported from abroad, plasmodium was only found in macaca irus from southeast asia, namely, p. inui (14.1-25.0%), p. cynomologi (0.6, 3.2%) and p. coatneyi ( ...1979116437

surface characteristics of cells from different layers of keratinized and non-keratinized oral epithelia.portions of clinically healthy non-keratinized and keratinized oral epithelia were removed from adult vervet monkeys (cercopithecus aethiops). the epithelium was separated from the underlying lamina propria by trypsin digestion, following which the epithelial cells were separated from the various epithelial layers. these were examined with the light and scanning electron microscope. cells from non-keratinized epithelia have surface microplications while those from keratinized epithelia show m ...1975124340
[demonstration by immunofluorescence of somatotropic cells and prolactin cells in the monkeys erythrocebus patas, cercopithecus aethiops and papio hamadryas].using antibodies against human sth and ovine prolactine, it is possible to identify somatotropic and prolactin cells in the pituitary anterior lobe of three species of monkeys: erythrocebus patas, cercopithecus aethiops and papio hamadryas. the somatotropic cells are numerous in both adult and infant male or female monkeys, especially in the lateral lobes of the pituitary gland. the prolactin cells can be distinguished in all pituitaries studied, regardless age or sex; indeed there are more nume ...1976140737
[demonstration by immunofluorescence of somatostatin cells in the islets of langerhans in 3 species of monkeys].indirect immunofluorescence technique with anti-somatostatin serum has allowed us to detect somatostatin containing cells in the langerhans' islets of three species of monkeys (macacus irus, papio hamadryas, cercopithecus aethiops). these cells are in close relationship with another cells, but occupy a more central position in the islets. thus, the distribution of somatostatin-containing cells in the monkey's endocrine pancreas has not a similar pattern as in rodent's pancreas; they have a compa ...1979160269
[immunofluorescence demonstration of somatostatin-containing cells in the digestive tract of the monkeys irus, macaca papio hamadryas and cercopithecus aethiops].indirect immunofluorescence technique with antisomatostatin serum has allowed us to detect somatostatin containing cells in the gastro-intestinal tract of three species of monkeys : macacus irus, papio hamadryas and cercopithecus aethiops. these cells are localized only in the stomach, in the duodenum, and in the jejunum-ileum. no somatostatin cells were encountered in the esophagus and in the colon. the maximum of somatostatin positive cells is localized in the duodenum, as well in the lieberkü ...1979161187
virus development in enucleate cells: echovirus, poliovirus, pseudorabies virus, reovirus, respiratory syncytial virus and semliki forest virus.a group of rna viruses, echovirus, poliovirus, reovirus, respiratory syncytial virus and semliki forest virus have been examined for ability to grow in enucleate african green monkey kidney (bsci) cells. semliki forest virus produced an almost normal yield of virus but poliovirus, echovirus, reovirus and respiratory syncytial virus, although showing clear evidence of virus replication when compared with a nuclear dna virus (pseudorabies virus) gave much lower yields than those from nucleate cell ...1975163289
stimulation of adenovirus replication in simian cells in the absence of a helper virus by pretreatment of the cells with iododeoxyuridine.pretreatment of african green monkey kidney cells with 50 mu g of 5'-iododeoxyruidine (iudr) per ml can modify their susceptibility to the replication of human adenovirus type 7 in the absence of simian virus 40 (sv40) although this enhancement of adenovirus replication is not as efficient as that of the helper sv40 virus. since the number of infectious centers remains unchanged after iudr pretreatment whereas the burst size of virus from each infected cell increases, the iudr appears to allow e ...1975163353
stimulation of non-histone chromosomal protein synthesis in simian virus 40-infected simian cells.the pattern of synthesis of non-histone chromosomal proteins in simian virus (sv) 40-infected african green monkey kidney cells was analyzed by polyacryl-amide gel electrophoresis to see whether the changes in chromosomal protein metabolism are involved in the viral-induced synthesis of cellular dna and mrna. during the prereplicative phase of infection, the rate of histone synthesis was decreased until 15 h postinfection, whereas that of non-histone protein synthesis was increased after 5 h pos ...1975163368
virus dna synthesizing ability of t antigen-forming defective sv40 produced by successive undiluted passages.sv40 stocks prepared by successive undiluted passages in african green monkey kidney (gmk) cells contain particles which produce t antigen but not capsid antigen (t partcles). the dna of the t particles was shown to replicate during abortive infection of gmk cells, as indicated by immunofluorescence assay for antigen forming capacity of virus dna. it was also shown that the synthesis of t particle dna was induced in heterokaryons formed by fusion of 3t3 cells transformed by t particles with susc ...1975164518
simian virus 40-related antigens in three human meningiomas with defined chromosome loss.two out of seven meningiomas tested in early cell cultures by indirect immunofluorescence staining showed simian virus 40 (sv40)-related tumor (t) antigen. in one tumor 90% of the cells were positive. an additional sv40-related antigen (u) was found in 10% of cells of a third tumor. these findings indicate that the meningioma cells showing a positive reaction are transformed by a papova virus that has at least partly the same antigenic properties as sv40 virus. sv40-related viral capsid (v) anti ...1975164660
amino acid and sugar transport incells permissively infected with simian virus 40.transport of alpha-aminoisobutyric acid and 2-deoxy-d-glucose in african green monkey kidney cells was measured 8 to 100 hr following permissive simian virus 40 infection. no differences in transport were detected during the time-period studies, and no significant differences were seen between the apparent michaelis-menten constants of normal and virally infected cells. the absence of transport enhancement in permissive simian virus 40 infection suggests that the augmented transport of viral-tra ...1975165886
simian virus 40 dna replication, transcription, and antigen induction during infection with two adenovirus 2-sv40 hybrids that contain the entire sv40 genome.the ad2++hey hybrid virus population produces simian virus 40 (sv40) efficiently during lytic infection, whereas ad2++ley does not, although both hybrids contain a complete sv40 genome. in this report, we demonstrate the synthesis of nonhydrid sv40 dna in ad2++hey-infected vero cells, but only early sv40 rna is transcribed efficiently in ad2++ley-infected cells. ad2++hey induces sv40 u, t, and v antigens during lytic infection of african green monkey kidney cells, whereas ad2++ley induces only s ...1975166206
effect of human leukocyte interferon on vaccinia-and herpes virus-infected cell cultures and monkey corneas.pretreatment of human fibroblast cultures with human leukocyte interferon (hif, 1,000 iu/ml) resulted in a 24-h delay of virus replication after infection with vaccinia virus and herpes simplex virus type 1 and type 2. additional hif treatment 24 h after infection effectively lowered the maximum yield of viral infectivity. equal results were obtained in simian cells with 3,000 iu of hif per ml. the spread of two cell-bound herpesviruses, varicella zoster virus and medical lake macaque herpesviru ...1975166924
temperature-sensitive mutants of simian virus 40 selected by transforming ability.eight temperature-sensitive mutants of simian virus 40 which transform rat cells at 32.5 c but not at 38.5 c have been isolated. all the mutants were also temperature sensitive for replication in african green monkey kidney cells and five of them were classified into a single complementation group. no mutant incapable of transforming rat cells at either temperature was isolated.1975167187
characterization of t antigen in cells infected with a temperature-sensitive mutant of simian virus 40.t antigen induced in african green monkey kidney cells by a temperature-sensitive mutant of simian virus 40, defective in a function required for cell transformation, was characterized. the number of t antigen-positive cells estimated by an immunofluorescent techniques was almost equal at permissive (32.5 c) and restrictive (38.5 c) temperatures, but was slightly reduced when the infected cells were incubated at a higher temperature (40.5 c). however, a complement fixation test indicated that th ...1975167188
specific immune adherence assay for human hepatitis a antibody application to diagnostic and epidemiologic investigations.a specific immune adherence (ia) test for hepatitis a antibody in human serum was described employing liver extract of marmosets infected with cr326 strain human hepatitis a virus. persons with hepatitis a, but not hepatitis b, developed hepatitis a ia antibody soon after onset of the acute illness and this persisted thereafter. there was very close agreement in the tests for human hepatitis a immune adherence, complement fixing (cf) and neutralizing antibodies. ia antibodies appeared to develop ...1975167376
early cytoplasmic vacuolization of african green monkey kidney cells by sv40.as early as 3--4 hours after infection with sv40 at a high input multiplicity, african green monkey (cercopithecus aethiops) kidney (agmk) cells developed cytoplasmic vacuolization. at 10--20 hours after infection, the vacuolization reached its maximal level, then disappeared and sv40 specific cytopathic change followed. this vacuolization developed before the synthesis of the specific t and v antigens. this early cytoplasmic vacuolization (ecv) was prevented by preincubating the virus with spec ...1975167691
production of lymphokine-like factors (cytokines) by simian virus 40-infected and simian virus 40-transformed cells.macrophage migration inhibitory (mif-like) activity was demonstrated in the supernatant fluids from primary cultures of african green monkey kidney cells infected with simian virus 40 (sv 40) virus. kidney cell cultures not infected by virus had no mif activity. supernatant fluids from continuous cultures of nontransformed and sv 40-transformed human fibroblasts contained mif-like activity. productive infection with sv 40 virus results in the production of a lymphokine-like factor, as previously ...1975168779
the retinal pigment epithelium and photoreceptor cells. light- and electron microscopic studies on monkey eyes.in the perifoveal retina of the monkey, cercopithecus aethiops, the melanin granules are accumulated in apical cytoplasmatic protrusions of the pigment epithelial cells, facing the end of the cones. the rods are inserted deeper into the pigment epithelium than the cones; they reach the bottom of the infoldings of the apical surface membrane of the pigment epithelial cells. no melanin granules or other inclusions are situated at the end of the rods. the outer extremity of the rods is considerably ...1975169998

[sensitivity of various primate cells and animal viruses to the antiviral activity of human leukocyte interferon (author's transl)].u cells (a permanent, human amnion cell line) were protected against infection with semliki forest virus (sfv) by human interferon (hif) from peripheral leukocytes. despite the usual genus-specific action of interferons, mouse l929 cultures (a permanent mouse fibroblast cell line) were also protected by hif. the antiviral action of hif in six other primate cell cultures was also examined. it is of interest that two lymphoblastoid cell lines, rpmi1788 and kaplan, were insensitive to hif. the sens ...1975170886
isolation of foamy virus from rhesus, african green and cynomolgus monkey leukocytes.foamy virus (fv) was recovered regularly from the leukocyte of rhesus and cynomolgus monkeys and somewhat less often from african green monkey leukocytes. virus was found in virtually all organs of experimentally infected rhesus monkeys. no illness or pathologic abnormalities were noted in these animals or in any of the naturally infected animals in spite of the prolonged period of viral persistence in various organs and tissues.1975171409
[effect of sodium salicylate on the "in vitro" development of rna viruses (author's transl)].sodium salicylate 10(-3) m is able to limit the number of plaques induced by rna viruses on monkey kidney cell cultures (cercopithecus aethiops and macaccus rhesus). however, the inhibition rate changes with the virus type or even the strain used. poliovirus 2, coxsackie b3, echovirus and reovirus 1 were the most susceptible to the inhibitory effect of the drug. latent infection caused by sv5 decreases the antiviral activity of salicylate. the stages of the poliovirus type 2 growth affected by s ...1975171988
dna replication in sv40-infected cells. xi. the properties of sv40 dna and nucleoprotein complex synthesized in the presence of cycloheximide.cycloheximide inhibits simian virus 40 (sv40) dna synthesis in productively infected african green monkey kidney cells. the residual viral dna synthesized in the presence of this drug is deficient in superhelical turns as measured by band sedimentation in the presence of several concentrations of ethidium bromide. the superhelical density of sv40 dna synthesized in the presence of cycloheximide is about one half that of viral dna produced in the absence of this drug. ribonuclease h and alkali tr ...1975172469
immune adherence and complement-fixation tests for human hepatitis a. diagnostic and epidemiologic investigations.the reliable propagation of cr326 strain of human hepatitis a virus in saguinus mystax marmosets has permitted the development of specific serum neutralization, complement-fixation (cf), and immune adherence (ia) assays for hepatitis a antigen and antibody. the cf and ia assays were made possible by the use of livers of cr326-infected marmosets as a source of hepatitis a antigen. all assays were shown to be specific for hepatitis a. cases of hepatitis b did not show development of hepatitis a an ...1975173600

comparative sensitivity of the bgm cell line for isolation of enteric viruses.the bgm line of african green monkey kidney cells was less sensitive than primary rhesus monkey kidney cells or human fetal diploid kidney cells for isolation of certain echoviruses and adenoviruses from fecal specimens.1976178630
characterization of simian cells tranformed by temperature-sensitive mutants of simian virus 40.seven lines derived from primary african green monkey kidney cells, which had survived lytic infection by wild-type simian virus 40 (sv40) or temperature-sensitive mutants belonging to the a and b complementation groups, were established. these cultures synthesize sv40 tumor (t) antigen constitutively and have been passaged more than 60 times in vitro. the cells released small amounts of virus even at high passage levels but eventually became negative for the spontaneous release of virus. virus ...1976178917
infection of newborn taiwan monkeys (macaca cyclopis) with human adenovirus type 12 and simian virus 40.for testing biological response of newborn taiwan monkeys to infection of human adenovirus type 12 (ad12) and simian virus 40 (sv40), 40 newborn taiwan monkeys were inoculated with ad12, ad12, plus sv40, ad12 supplemented with ad12-induced hamster tumor tissue (ad12 tumor) or control specimens (hela or african green monkey kidney cell lysate). among them 26 survived including 8 newborn monkeys inoculated with control specimens. the survivors were observed for 4 years but no tumor was produced. t ...1975181217
characterization of a spontaneous undifferentiated carcinoma from an african green monkey (cercopithecus aethiops).an adult male african green monkey (cercopithecus aethiops) with an undifferentiated carcinoma, probably originating from the nasal mucosa, was received from the akron, ohio zoo. cultivation of this tumor in vitro resulted in a mixture of fibroblastic and epithelial cells which was subsequently separated using differential trypsinization. the neoplastic nature of the cultured epithelial cells was verified by their ability to transplant into athymic nude, or antithymocyte serum-treated mice, wher ...1976184033
morphological observations on the replication of herpesvirus saimiri in monkey kidney cell cultures.owl and african green monkey kidney cell cultures have been infected with 1 p.f.u./cell of herpesvirus saimiri and sample cultures have been taken for examination by electron microscopy at 3 to 6 hourly intervals over a period of 7 days; the experiments were repeated several times. the peculiarly slow replication cycle of herpesvirus saimiri has enabled distinct cytoplasmic and nuclear phases in virus maturation to be clearly distinguished; the overall fine structural features were similar in bo ...1976184242
a scanning electron microscopic study of sv40 infected cells.the surface of the sv40-infected african green monkey kidney (agmk) cells was studied morphologically by scanning electron microscopy. in 24 hr post infection (p.i.), the cell surface was covered with slightly elongated microvilli. the microvilli increased in number. in 96 hr.p.i. most of the cells showed sv40-specific cytopathic effects (cpe). nuclear swellings and the elongation of microvilli were eminent. microvilli were observed projecting with high densities especially on the nuclear portio ...1976184324
in situ hybridization of repetitive monkey genome sequences isolated from defective simian virus 40 dna.the origin of a repetitive monkey dna sequence that is incorporated into a defective simian virus 40 genome has been studied. a fragment (about 140 base pairs in length) containing essentially all the repetitive monkey dna present in the defective and few, if any, sv40 sequences can be cleaved from the purified defective dna by restriction endonucleases hind(ii and iii). radioactive crna prepared with the isolated fragment as template was hybridized in situ to african green monkey chromosomes. t ...1976184962
