Expression of endogenous RNA C-type virus group-specific antigens in mammalian cells. 1973

J R Stephenson, and S A Aaronson

Highly sensitive and specific radioimmunoassays are described for quantitation of the intraspecies determinants of several mammalian C-type viral group-specific (gs) antigens. An interspecies (gs-3) immunoassay has been developed which has both the broad reactivity and great sensitivity necessary for detection of C-type viruses where intraspecies gs assays are not available. By using these immunoassays, the expression of endogenous virus-specified gs antigens in mammalian cells of different species has been studied. Whereas mouse gs antigen was clearly detectable in tissue culture cells of several mouse strains, the respective gs antigens of rat, cat, Chinese hamster, woolly monkey, and gibbon ape were not detectable in cells of those species, using assays of comparable sensitivity. Thus, differences exist in the level of endogenous virus expression in cells of different mammalian species.

D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation. Radioimmunoassays
D011925 Rauscher Virus A strain of MURINE LEUKEMIA VIRUS associated with mouse tumors similar to those caused by the FRIEND MURINE LEUKEMIA VIRUS. It is a replication-competent murine leukemia virus. It can act as a helper virus when complexing with a defective transforming component, RAUSCHER SPLEEN FOCUS-FORMING VIRUS.

D002415 Cats The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.
