OK10-transformed cell lines: viral component generation and tumorigenicity. 1984

S Pfeifer-Ohlsson

Stable nonproducer (NP) cell lines transformed by the avian acute leukemia virus OK10 were established. All 13 studied NP quail cell lines released into the culture medium noninfectious, mostly reverse-transcriptase-negative particles containing the usual gag proteins. Infectious, transforming OK10 virus pseudotypes could be recovered by rescue with helper virus. p200, the putative transforming protein of OK10, was identified in in vitro translates of RNA from the noninfectious particles and in immunoprecipitates of cell extracts of the NP clones analyzed. Two NP clones, the reverse-transcriptase-negative B5 and -positive 9C cell lines, displayed striking differences in in vivo tumorigenicity. Although B5 induced no tumors in quails, 9C caused multiple tumors and cells derived from several tumors could be passaged in vitro. At no time during the in vivo passage or during more than 1 year of in vitro culture have the particles released by 9C cells acquired infectious properties. Possible reasons for the observed differences in tumorigenicity between the OK10 virus-transformed 9C and B5 NP cell lines are discussed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D009368 Neoplasm Transplantation Experimental transplantation of neoplasms in laboratory animals for research purposes. Transplantation, Neoplasm,Neoplasm Transplantations,Transplantations, Neoplasm
D010455 Peptides Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS. Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides
