[Susceptibility to avian tumor viruses: determination of chick phenotypes]. 1977

L Stanislawski, and B Teutsch, and G F Rabotti

The genetic cellular susceptibility to avian sarcoma viruses (RSV) of subgroups A, B, C and E has been determined in one week old Chicks. Fibroblasts from pin feathers were grown in vitro and tested by focus formation after infection. This technique will allow, for the first time, the study of the influence of the host phenotypes (susceptibility or resistance to the different subgroups of RSV) upon the immune response to a given virus.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D010641	Phenotype	The outward appearance of the individual. It is the product of interactions between genes, and between the GENOTYPE and the environment.	Phenotypes
D002472	Cell Transformation, Viral	An inheritable change in cells manifested by changes in cell division and growth and alterations in cell surface properties. It is induced by infection with a transforming virus.	Transformation, Viral Cell,Viral Cell Transformation,Cell Transformations, Viral,Transformations, Viral Cell,Viral Cell Transformations
