Neoplastic differentiation: interaction of simian virus 40 and polyoma virus with murine teratocarcinoma cells in vitro. 1975

D E Swartzendruber, and J M Lehman

The host-virus interactions of Simian virus 40 (SV40) and polyoma virus (Py) with cell lines established from a teratocarcinoma were studied. The cells utilized in this study were the multipotential stem cell of the teratocarcinoma, embryonal carcinoma, and differentiated cells derived from embryonal carcinoma. Several lines of differentiated cells were established in vitro which included parietal yolk sac, epithelial, and spindle cell types. Embryonal carcinoma cells are not susceptible to infection by either SV40 or Py virus. However, differentiated cells are susceptible to infection by these viruses. The differentiated cells are permissive for Py virus replication and nonpermissive for SV40. Several continuously growing cell lines have been established from the SV40 infected cultures which express T antigen in 100% of the cells. The results indicate that undifferentiated embryonal carcinoma cells and their differentiated progeny respond quite differently to challenge with these two oncogenic DNA viruses.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008856	Microscopy, Fluorescence	Microscopy of specimens stained with fluorescent dye (usually fluorescein isothiocyanate) or of naturally fluorescent materials, which emit light when exposed to ultraviolet or blue light. Immunofluorescence microscopy utilizes antibodies that are labeled with fluorescent dye.	Fluorescence Microscopy,Immunofluorescence Microscopy,Microscopy, Immunofluorescence,Fluorescence Microscopies,Immunofluorescence Microscopies,Microscopies, Fluorescence,Microscopies, Immunofluorescence
D008858	Microscopy, Phase-Contrast	A form of interference microscopy in which variations of the refracting index in the object are converted into variations of intensity in the image. This is achieved by the action of a phase plate.	Phase-Contrast Microscopy,Microscopies, Phase-Contrast,Microscopy, Phase Contrast,Phase Contrast Microscopy,Phase-Contrast Microscopies

D005455	Fluorescent Antibody Technique	Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.
