Evidence for translation of viral-specific RNA in cells of a mouse mammary carcinoma. 1972

R Axel, and J Schlom, and S Spiegelman

A procedure is described permitting the detection of viral-specific RNA in a mouse mammary tumor. The method involves molecular hybridization with radioactively labeled DNA complementary to the RNA of the mouse mammary-tumor virus. RNA homologous to that of the mammary agent has been found in both the nuclear and polyribosomal fractions of tumor cells. The results imply that the oncogenic information is serving as messenger RNA that directs the synthesis of proteins required for virus production, and perhaps for the maintenance of the neoplastic state. The technology developed is immediately applicable to tumors of human origin.

D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.

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.

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

At equilibrium each particle settles in the gradient at a point equal to its density.
