This report concerns the establishment of a human cell line cryptically infected by a murine leukemia virus (MuLV). This cell line, named J112, is characterized by the presence of genetic viral information in a majority of cells as demonstrated by immunological and virological methods, and by the absence of detectable viral activity in the supernatant culture fluids. Nevertheless, electron microscopy demonstrated the presence of a small number of particles which have the morphology of immature type C particles. We discuss the importance of this experimental model in relationship with non-producing (NP) infections of human cells by oncogenic retroviruses.

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
D008979 Moloney murine leukemia virus A strain of Murine leukemia virus (LEUKEMIA VIRUS, MURINE) arising during the propagation of S37 mouse sarcoma, and causing lymphoid leukemia in mice. It also infects rats and newborn hamsters. It is apparently transmitted to embryos in utero and to newborns through mother's milk. Moloney Leukemia Virus,Leukemia Virus, Moloney,Virus, Moloney Leukemia

D012190 Retroviridae Family of RNA viruses that infects birds and mammals and encodes the enzyme reverse transcriptase. The family contains seven genera: DELTARETROVIRUS; LENTIVIRUS; RETROVIRUSES TYPE B, MAMMALIAN; ALPHARETROVIRUS; GAMMARETROVIRUS; RETROVIRUSES TYPE D; and SPUMAVIRUS. A key feature of retrovirus biology is the synthesis of a DNA copy of the genome which is integrated into cellular DNA. After integration it is sometimes not expressed but maintained in a latent state (PROVIRUSES).
