| avian erythroblastosis virus transforms a novel mast cell-basophil precursor target in the japanese quail. | hematopoietic cells of the japanese quail were transformed by avian erythroblastosis virus in vivo and in vitro. in both circumstances, the infected hematopoietic tissues exhibited a dual oncogenic response of erythroid and mast cell-basophil elements. the erythroid transformants escaped the avian erythroblastosis virus block in differentiation and progressed to hemoglobinization. resulting basophilic cells were morphologically, biochemically, and ultrastructurally identical to mast cell-basophi ... | 1989 | 2539521 |
| oncogenecity of an avian erythroblastosis virus in mutant strains of japanese quails. | the susceptibility of 12 mutant strains of japanese quails to the r strain of avian erythroblastosis virus (aev) was examined. three strains, sbpp, pnn and cwe, showed high susceptibility and developed various types of tumors including erythroblastosis, hemangioma and myeloblastic leukemia. in relatively resistant we strain, increased incidence and various types of tumors were observed by modification of host conditions. these results indicate pluripotential oncogenicity of aev in quails as well ... | 1984 | 6094891 |
| japanese quail embryo cell line persistently infected with erythroblastosis virus. | a japanese quail embryo cell line transformed by avian retrovirus, designated qerc-31f, was further characterized in virological and cytological aspects. infectious virus produced by this cell line was found to belong to subgroup a. the virus failed to transform quail embryo cells, whereas it induced erythroblastosis by injection into neonatal quails. injection of qerc-31f cells into neonatal quails resulted in the induction of solid tumors which morphologically diagnosed as undifferentiated sar ... | 1982 | 6181272 |
