Establishment and characterization of cell lines from Gross virus-induced rat leukemia. 1976

T Nishiyama, and H Okano

Cells from thymus and/or bone marrow tissues of either normal or Gross virus-infected W/Fu rats were cultivated individually or mixed. Four continuous cell lines were obtained: 1) individual cultivation of the cells from thymic lymphoma, 2) combined cultivation of cells from thymic lymphoma and normal bone marrow, 3) bone marrow of a leukemic rat and normal thymus, and 4) bone marrow of a leukemic rat supplemented with cell-free extracts of normal thymus homogenates. The morphological features were similar in these 4 cell lines. The cell correspond morphologically to lymphoblasts, grow rapidly in suspension, and are transplantable in newborn rats. The cells release abundant Type-C virus particles. The inoculation of cell-free culture fluid into newborn rats resulted, after 7-9 weeks, in the development of thymic lymphoma in high incidence.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013945	Thymoma	A neoplasm originating from thymic tissue, usually benign, and frequently encapsulated. Although it is occasionally invasive, metastases are extremely rare. It consists of any type of thymic epithelial cell as well as lymphocytes that are usually abundant. Malignant lymphomas that involve the thymus, e.g., lymphosarcoma, Hodgkin's disease (previously termed granulomatous thymoma), should not be regarded as thymoma.

D013950	Thymus Gland	A single, unpaired primary lymphoid organ situated in the MEDIASTINUM, extending superiorly into the neck to the lower edge of the THYROID GLAND and inferiorly to the fourth costal cartilage. It is necessary for normal development of immunologic function early in life. By puberty, it begins to involute and much of the tissue is replaced by fat.
