an "external" rna removable from mammalian cells by mild proteolysis. | brief exposure of chinese hamster ovary cell monolayers prelabeled with [(32)p]phosphate and [(3)h]leucine to 1 mug/ml of trypsin under conditions in which cells remain fully viable causes the release of macromolecular (32)p and (3)h. whereas ribonuclease treatment was found to affect markedly both the (32)p and (3)h radioactivity, pronase treatment had little effect on the macromolecular (32)p. treatment of cells prelabeled with [(3)h]glucosamine and [(32)p]phosphate with insolubilized papain a ... | 1974 | 4531029 |
non-repairable strand breaks induced by 125i incorporated into mammalian dna. | when (125)i is incorporated into chinese hamster dna (via (125)i-labeled iododeoxyuridine) and the cells are stored at 77 degrees k, the resulting decays of the isotope cause 4 to 5 breaks/single-strand per disintegration. on the average, about 50% of these breaks are repaired. in contrast, under the same conditions of storage and in the same range of total strand breaks/cell, 70-100% of the breaks induced by x-radiation are repaired. thus, the extreme toxicity of (125)i when incorporated into d ... | 1974 | 4531021 |
some biochemical properties of chinese hamster cells sensitive and resistant to actinomycin d. | a graded series of drug-resistant chinese hamster sublines has been examined for biochemical changes accompanying resistance to actinomycin d. the most highly resistant subline, dc-3f/ad x, is maintained at 10 microg/ml of the antibiotic. it was shown that over 250 times more actinomycin d is required to inhibit rna synthesis in this subline than in the parental dc-3f line. the dc-3f/ad x subline was also shown to have a somewhat reduced capacity to transport uridine as compared to parental cell ... | 1974 | 4474176 |

cyclic changes in the cell surface. ii. the effect of cytochalasin b on the surface morphology of synchronized chinese hamster ovary cells. | the surface morphology of chinese hamster ovary cells treated with cytochalasin b (cb) has been examined using the scanning electron microscope. the cells respond to treatment with cb by retracting peripheral processes, rounding up, and assuming a smooth or gently convoluted surface. this response occurs within minutes. cells in different stages of the cell cycle all respond in a similar manner. when cb is removed from treated cells by washing with conditioned medium, the cells regain their norm ... | 1974 | 4855904 |
cyclic changes in the cell surface. i. change in thymidine transport and its inhibition by cytochalasin b in chinese hamster ovary cells. | cytochalasin b (cb) shows a marked concentration-dependent inhibition of the incorporation of [(3)h]thymidine into chinese hamster ovary cells. this inhibition was shown to result from an inhibition of thymidine uptake, not from an inhibition of dna synthesis. cells normally acquire the capacity to transport thymidine as they move from the g1 stage of the cell cycle into the s phase. if cb is added to cells while they are in g1, they do not acquire the ability to transport thymidine as they ente ... | 1974 | 4855903 |
cell cycle-specific changes in histone phosphorylation associated with cell proliferation and chromosome condensation. | preparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was used to examine histone phosphorylation in synchronized chinese hamster cells (line cho). results showed that histone f1 phosphorylation, absent in g(1)-arrested and early g(1)-traversing cells, commences 2 h before entry of traversing cells into the s phase. it is concluded that f1 phosphorylation is one of the earliest biochemical events associated with conversion of nonproliferating cells to proliferating cells occurring on old f1 before synt ... | 1974 | 4855902 |

identification of interspecific translocation chromosomes in human-chinese hamster hybrid cells. | chromosome material of human and chinese hamster origin can be stained differentially in human-chinese hamster translocation chromosomes by use of the giemsa-11 staining technique. | 1975 | 51825 |
sister chromatid exchange in human chromosomes from normal individuals and patients with ataxia telangiectasia. | a new fluorescence plus giemsa staining technique now makes the detection of sister-chromatid exchange (sce) a relatively easy matter in cells containing 5-brdu-substituted dna. the technique has been applied to human cells to examine the distribution of sce between different people and within different chromosomes. the results show: (1) that there were no large differences in the incidence of sce between blood leukocyte chromosomes from male and female adults and newborn, and that similar frequ ... | 1975 | 52431 |
visualization of nucleolar organizer regions im mammalian chromosomes using silver staining. | a simple ammoniacal silver staining procedure, designated ag-as, differentially stains the chromosomal locations of ribosomal dna in certain mammalian species. this was critically demonstrated by ag-as staining of the nucleolus organizer regions in karyotypes of the same species and cell lines used for locating the ribosomal cistrons by dna/rna in situ hybridization. with ag-as, silver stained nors (ag-nors) are visualized as black spherical bodies on yellow-brown chromosome arms. ag-nors were v ... | 1975 | 53131 |
enterotoxigenic escherichia coli and idiopathic diarrhoea in bangladesh. | faecal escherichia coli from bangalee patients with idiopathic diarrhoea were tested in the chinese hamster ovary cell (c.h.o.) assay to detect production of thermolabile enterotoxin (l.t.). c.h.o-positive e. coli produce both l.t. and a thermostable toxin (s.t.). c.h.o.-positive strains were found in 19.2% of all cases and in 70% of the most severely ill patients with non-vibrio cholera. e. coli which produce s.t. alone were identified in a third of the c.h.o.-negative cases. enterotoxigenic e. ... | 1975 | 53601 |
expression of differentiated functions in hepatoma cell hybrids: ix extinction and reexpression of liver-specific enzymes in rat hepatoma-chinese hamster fibroblast hybrids. | most of the hybrid clones derived from a cross of chinese hamster fibroblasts (don) with rat hepatoma cells (faza 967) showed preferential loss of rat chromosomes. two of the hybrid clones retained the rat chromosomes, and both showed extinction of 4 liver-specific enzymes: aldolase b, liver alcohol dehydrogenase, and the inducible enzymes tyrosine aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase. subcloning of 1 of these hybrids, which contained 2 sets of hepatoma chromosomes and 1 set of hamster ... | 1975 | 17164 |
diabetogenic effects of n-nitrosomethylurea in the chinese hamster. | to evaluate the role of the glucose residue of the diabetogenic substance streptozotocin, the effect of its aglucone derivate n-nitrosomethylurea was tested in chinese hamsters. at a dose of 50 mg/kg body weight of n-nitrosomethylurea a triphasic blood glucose curve was recorded with an initial hyperglycaemic peak after 3 hours followed by a decrease at 6 hours. after 24 hours and during the following days the values were moderately elevated. there was a high mortality in the diabetic animals, a ... | 1975 | 125026 |
rate and time of dna synthesis of individual chinese hamster cells. | the duration of dna synthesis of a diploid cell line of chinese hamster fibroblasts was determined in a comparative study by the flm technique, and also by a new technique for measuring the rate of dna synthesis of individual cells. these methods produced comparable results when applied during exponential growth of the cells. the rate of dna synthesis was measured by means of quantitative autoradiography following a short-term incubation of the cells with 5 x 10(-6) m fudr and 10(-5) m 14c-tdr. ... | 1975 | 126804 |
simian virus 40 functions required for the establishment and maintenance of malignant transformation. | members of the five classes of temperature-sensitive simian virus 40 mutants were tested for their ability to transform chinese hamster lung cells. two criteria for transformation were used: the ability to form clones in medium with low serum concentrations and the ability to overgrow a monolayer. only a mutants failed to transform at the restrictive temperature when subconfluent chinese hamster lung monolayers were used. however, both a and d mutants failed to transform at the restrictive tempe ... | 1975 | 163374 |
detection by means of cell fusion of macromolecular synthesis involved in the reconstruction of the nuclear envelope in mitosis. | using the cultured chinese hamster cell line don, g1 or s or a mixture of late-s/g2 cells were prepared by release from metaphase arrest. metaphase (m) cells were also obtained by mitotic arrest of log-phase cultures with colcemid and held in metaphase; such m cells remained untreated with any other compound and were termed standard m cells. when interphase (i) cells were fused at ph 8.0 and 37 degrees c with standard cells in the presence of colcemid by means of uv-inactivated sendai virus, bin ... | 1975 | 163831 |
cellular adsorption function of the sialoglycoprotein of vesicular stomatitis virus and its neuraminic acid. | exposure of vesicular stomatitis (vs) virions to neuraminidase resulted in loss of their ability to agglutinate goose erythrocytes and to attach to l cells concomitant with hydrolysis of sialic acid. these viral adsorptive functions were also destroyed by tryspsinization. sialyl transferase resialylation in vitro of neuraminidase-treated vs virions restored their hamagglutinating and adsorptive functions almost to original levels. erythrocyte and l cell receptors for attachment of vs virions wer ... | 1975 | 163924 |

mutant hamster cells exhibiting a pleiotropic effect on carbohydrate metabolism. | sixty-seven galactose negative (gal minus) clones were established from survivors after treatment of chinese hamster lung (v79) cells with 5-bromodeoxyuridine and black light. the mutational origin of these clonal isolates was inferred on the basis of the previously demonstrated mutagenic action of the combined treatment, persistence of the gal minus phenotype in cell progeny in the absence of selection, conditional lethality of three isolates, interallelic complementation, and assignment of a h ... | 1975 | 164654 |
changes in lactate dehydrogenase enzyme pattern in chinese hamster cells infected and transformed with simian virus 40. | the lactate dehydrogenase (ldh) isozyme patterns of consecutive passages of chinese hamster embryo cultures were monitored. at early passages the population displayed two ldh bands, m4 and m3h; however, at higher passages the cultures exhibited m2h2, m2h, and m4. when primary cultures of chinese hamster embryo cells were infected with simian virus 40 (sv40), no change in the ldh pattern was observed; however, the total activity of ldh increased. twenty-three of 25 transformed colonies isolated f ... | 1975 | 167939 |
the effects of several croton oil constituents on two types of dna repair and cyclic nucleotide levels in mammalian cells in vitro. | the purpose of the present study was to determine the effects of two potent tumor-promoting agents on two dna repair mechanisms and cyclic nucleotide levels in mammalian cells. human amnion (av3) cells were treated with low dose levels of either uv of n-acetoxy-acetylaminofluorene. subsequently, dna excision repair as measured by unscheduled dna synthesis was followed in the absence or presence of non-toxic levels of either 12-o-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (tpa), phorbol-12,13-dibenzoate (pd ... | 1975 | 168978 |
site of synthesis of membrane and nonmembrane proteins of vesicular stomatitis virus. | upon infection of chinese hamster ovary cells (cho), vesicular stomatitis (vsv) virus synthesizes two membrane proteins (the vsv glycoprotein and the vsv matrix or membrane (m) protein) and three nonmembrane proteins (the vsv nucleocapsid, the viral transcriptase, and an ns protein). we have used the vsv-infected cell as a model system for the study of the site of synthesis of these membrane and nonmembrane proteins. we have isolated vsv mrna from free polyribosomes, membrane-bound polyribosomes ... | 1975 | 169263 |

induction of gene mutations and chromosomal aberrations by simian virus 40 in cultured mammalian cells. | induction of gene mutations by sv40 was studied in aneuploid human and chinese hamster cells. in chinese hamster cells sv40-induced chromosome aberrations were also studied. sv40 penetrated into the cells of both lines and induced synthesis of the t antigen. the efficiency of infection in chinese hamster cells was tested additionally by their ability to form colonies in medium lacking the serum growth factor. the maximal number of cells with serum growth factor independence was observed on the f ... | 1975 | 172787 |
thermolabile t (tumor) antigen from cells transformed by a temperature-sensitive mutant of simian virus 40. | partially purified tumor (t) antigen from a strain of chinese hamster lung cells transformed by wild-type simian virus 40 (sv 40) and either of two temperature-sensitive sv 40 mutants has been studied as a dna binding protein. the dna binding activity present in the t-antigen-containing fractions is inhibited by purified hamster anti-t igg but not by equivalent amounts of nonimmune hamster igg. t from either wild-type- or tsc219-transformed cells is relatively stable during heating at 44 degrees ... | 1975 | 172906 |
growth of enveloped rna viruses in a line of chinese hamster ovary cells with deficient n-acetylglucosaminyltransferase activity. | sindbis and vesicular stomatitis viruses were grown in a line (termed 15b) of chinese hamster ovary (cho) cells that is deficient in a specific udp-n-acetyl-glucosamine:glycoprotein n-acetylglucosaminyltransferase. both viruses replicated normally in the cell line, but the glycoproteins of the released virus migrated faster on sodium didecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels than did glycoproteins of virus grown in parent cho cells. digestion of the viral glycoproteins with pronase followed by gel fil ... | 1975 | 173886 |
simian virus 40-chinese hamster kidney cell interaction. i. relationship of chromosome changes to transformation. | after approximately 20 in vitro passages, chinese hamster kidney (chk) cell cultures transformed upon exposure to different strains of sv 40 can show a diploid modal chromosome number of 22 with chromosome counts exclusively or essentially in the diploid range (20-25). in primary culture and at the 5th-7th subculture, tumors produced in nude mice by such cells can display a diploid modal value of 22 chromosomes. numerical chromosome variations and karyotype abnormalities observed in chk cells tr ... | 1975 | 174521 |
