Expression of the human cytomegalovirus genome in mouse cells and in human-mouse heterokaryons. 1977

I Boldogh, and E Gönczöl, and L Gärtner, and G Váczi

Mouse cells with an established human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection were fused with susceptible human embryonic fibroblast cells. CMV-specific early antigens could be demonstrated in the cytoplasm and cell-membrane of the heterokaryons. Treatment with 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine (IUdR) of the heterokaryons or of the latently infected mouse cells, prior to their fusion with human cells, could induce the appearance of immunoflourescent elements, characterised as late antigens, and of infectious virus. Our data show that the mouse cells, in the latent stage of infection, contain the whole virus genome and that the replication of the virus is controlled by a genetic mechanism of the host cells both in virus-harbouring mouse cells and in heterokaryons.

D002460 Cell Line Established cell cultures that have the potential to propagate indefinitely. Cell Lines,Line, Cell,Lines, Cell
D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell
D003587 Cytomegalovirus A genus of the family HERPESVIRIDAE, subfamily BETAHERPESVIRINAE, infecting the salivary glands, liver, spleen, lungs, eyes, and other organs, in which they produce characteristically enlarged cells with intranuclear inclusions. Infection with Cytomegalovirus is also seen as an opportunistic infection in AIDS.
