Isolation of polyomavirus mutants multiadapted to murine embryonal carcinoma cells. 1985

F Melin, and H Pinon, and C Kress, and D Blangy

Polyomavirus mutants were isolated from PCC4 embryonal carcinoma cells infected with a variant strain of polyomavirus (ev 1001h) and were found to contain a tandem duplication overlapping the enhancers and the origin of replication. These mutants were able to infect several lines of embryonal carcinoma cells, including PCC4, F9, and LT1. The sequence and structure of one of these mutants are presented and compared with those of other PyEC PCC4 mutants previously described.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D009154	Mutation	Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations.	Mutations
D011120	Polyomavirus	A genus of potentially oncogenic viruses of the family POLYOMAVIRIDAE. These viruses are normally present in their natural hosts as latent infections. The virus is oncogenic in hosts different from the species of origin.

D003001	Cloning, Molecular	The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells.	Molecular Cloning
D004187	Disaccharides	Oligosaccharides containing two monosaccharide units linked by a glycosidic bond.	Disaccharide
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.

D013724	Teratoma	A true neoplasm composed of a number of different types of tissue, none of which is native to the area in which it occurs. It is composed of tissues that are derived from three germinal layers, the endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm. They are classified histologically as mature (benign) or immature (malignant).
