anemia associated with feline leukemia virus infection in cats.the types of anemia associated with natural and experimental feline leukemia virus (felv) infection in cats were investigated. in one experiment, 10 kittens were inoculated neonatally with jarrett felv-1, an isolate of subgroup a; 6 developed anemia a few weeks later. this anemia was characterized by macrocytosis, normoblastosis, increased erythropoiesis in the bone marrow, and extramedullary hematopoiesis in the spleen. anemia was transient and nonfatal and occurred before the onset of lympoid ...1975163317
evolution of type c viral genes: origin of feline leukemia virus.reiterated gene sequences related to the rna of feline leukemia virus (felv) are detected in all tissues of domestic cats and their close felis relatives but not in more distantly related felis species. partially homologous viral gene sequences are found in rodent, and particularly rat, dna. together with the immunologic relationships observed between felv and endogenous rodent type c viruses, the results lead to the conclusion that felv-related genes were transmitted from a rodent to cat ancest ...197552892
interspecies antigenic determinants of the reverse transcriptases and p30 proteins of mammalian type c viruses.the major internal structural proteins (p30) of type c viruses isolated from several mammalian species were studied by radioimmunoprecipitation and competitive radioimmunoassays. three antigenically distinguishable sets of interspecies determinants could be demonstrated by both methods. one set of determinants shared by viruses of rodent origin (mouse and rat) can be detected readily in feline leukemia viruses but not in other type c viral groups. the p30 proteins of murine viruses also contain ...197549443

horizontal transmission of feline leukemia virus in cats.traditionally, cancer has not been considered an infectious disease although some multiple cases of leukemia in man and cattle have been reported. the discovery that feline lymphosarcoma was associated with an rna virus (feline leukemia virus(felv)) meant that infectious transmission of the disease was a possibility. the critical question was whether the predominant method of transmission from one animal to another was 'vertical' (via the gametes) or 'horizontal' (via contagion or infection). a ...1975169834
establishment of two canine sarcoma cell lines: productive infection with feline leukemia virus.two canine sarcoma cell lines (11028, 11031) were established in vitro and have been transferred 213 and 306 times, respectively, since 1970. these cell lines had a chromosome pattern consistent with their canine origin. both cultures were infected with feline leukemia virus (felv), which caused a morphologic and karyotypic changes. the cells became rounded after infection with felv and both cultures showed the presence of a single, large, acrocentric chromosome considered to be a marker chromos ...1975169374

horizontal transmission of feline leukemia virus under experimental conditions.thirty-seven specific-pathogen-free (spf) cats ranging from newborn to 1 year were inoculated with the rickard strain of feline leukemia virus (felv). each inoculated cat shared a cage with a control spf cat for 40 weeks post inoculation. after 4-5 weeks, 20 of the inoculated cats became group-specific antigen (gsa)-positive; the other 17 remained gsa-negative but developed virus neutralizing and feline oncornavirus cell membrane-associated antigen antibody titers. seventeen of the control cats ...1977189052
rejectability of virus-induced tumors and nonrejectability of spontaneous tumors: a lesson in contrasts.in contrast to the excellent surveillance against tumors induced by the ubiquitous viruses in their natural host species, spontaneous tumors developing naturally, without experimental interference, evoke little or no rejection reaction. this may be viewed in relation to the natural history of tumors. in most cases, tumors evolve in several steps, with a successful of clonal variants following each other, characterized by increasing independence of host regulations (including immune restrictions) ...1977194366
passive immunity to feline leukemia: evaluation of immunity from dams naturally infected and experimentally vaccinated.antibodies against feline leukemia virus (felv) and the feline oncornavirus-associated cell membrane antigen (focma) were transferred from pregnant cats to their suckling kittens. all of these kittens were protected against infection and oncogenesis by virulent felv when challenged at 2 weeks of age. suckling kittens acquired 25 to 100% of maternal virus-neutralizing and focma titers by 3 days of age, and titers underwent linear decay to undetectable levels by 2 to 3 months of age. focma antibod ...1977194840

a portion of the feline leukaemia virus genome is not endogenous in cat cells.although viral sequences closely related to feline leukaemia virus are represented in multiple copies in cellular dna of all domestic cats, a specific fraction was present only in the virus-infected cells. this fraction was detected by viral cdna enriched by a prior absorption of a total complementary dna (cdna) transcript with normal cat liver dna. the recycled cdna hybridized well with the cellular dna of virus-infected cells, but to a lesser extent with dna from uninfected cat cells. the prob ...1978210130
potentiation of the neurtalization of feline leukaemia virus in hypotonic medium.the neutralization of feline leukaemia virus could be enhanced by performing the reaction in hypotonic medium. absorption of antibody by virus specific antigens was also made more sensitive under these conditions.1978211186
reiteration frequency of feline type c viral genomes in homologous and heterologous host cell dna.differences in the multiplicity of proviral sequences of two feline endogenous viruses, rd-114 and felv, in homologous and heterologous host dna were examined by viral cdna hybridization using cellular dna fractionated with respect to reiteration frequency. the endogenous proviral dnas in cat cells were fractionated predominantly with intermediate-repeated sequences, while rd-114 proviral dna in virus-infected human cells was fractionated together with unique-sequence dna. these differences were ...1978201591
