Mixed-culture cytopathogenicity between KC and XC oncornavirus indicator lines and "virus-free" human choriocarcinoma cells. 1976

K H Rand, and B Reed, and I Broseus, and B Hampar, and R Gilden, and C Long

When rat (XC) cells transformed by Rous sarcoma virus and human (KC) cells were cocultivated with appropriate infected cells, cell fusion was extensive and rapid. Many human cell lines were screened, with negative results; however, several hormone-secreting human choriocarcinoma cells fused extensively with both KC and XC cells. No evidence of a virus involvement in this interaction was found by direct examination, transmission, or immunologic tests.

D003588 Cytopathogenic Effect, Viral Visible morphologic changes in cells infected with viruses. It includes shutdown of cellular RNA and protein synthesis, cell fusion, release of lysosomal enzymes, changes in cell membrane permeability, diffuse changes in intracellular structures, presence of viral inclusion bodies, and chromosomal aberrations. It excludes malignant transformation, which is CELL TRANSFORMATION, VIRAL. Viral cytopathogenic effects provide a valuable method for identifying and classifying the infecting viruses.

D012190 Retroviridae Family of RNA viruses that infects birds and mammals and encodes the enzyme reverse transcriptase. The family contains seven genera: DELTARETROVIRUS; LENTIVIRUS; RETROVIRUSES TYPE B, MAMMALIAN; ALPHARETROVIRUS; GAMMARETROVIRUS; RETROVIRUSES TYPE D; and SPUMAVIRUS. A key feature of retrovirus biology is the synthesis of a DNA copy of the genome which is integrated into cellular DNA. After integration it is sometimes not expressed but maintained in a latent state (PROVIRUSES).
