Characterization of clones of tumorigenic feline cells transformed by a chemical carcinogen. 1981

J S Rhim, and K S Koh, and A Chen, and M Essex

Tumorigenic clonal lines derived from soft agar colonies induced by DMBA-transformed feline embryo cells were isolated and characterized. The morphologically altered clonal cells formed large aggregates, growing in this aggregate form when suspended in liquid growth medium above an agar base and forming colonies in soft agar with high efficiency. When inoculated into athymic nude mice, chemically altered clonal cells produced progressively growing sarcomas. Cells established from the tumors morphologically resembled the DMBA-transformed feline embryo cells and were characterized as cat cells by karyological analysis. The tumorigenic lines were negative for feline oncornavirus-associated cell membrane antigen (FOCMA), and for "gag-X" the transformation-related polyprotein which is encoded by the replication defective feline sarcoma 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.

D002999 Clone Cells A group of genetically identical cells all descended from a single common ancestral cell by mitosis in eukaryotes or by binary fission in prokaryotes. Clone cells also include populations of recombinant DNA molecules all carrying the same inserted sequence.

D005253 Sarcoma Viruses, Feline Species of GAMMARETROVIRUS isolated from fibrosarcoma in cats. The viruses are actually recombinant feline leukemia viruses (FeLV) where part of the genome has been replaced by cellular oncogenes. It is unique to individuals and not transmitted naturally to other cats. FeSVs are replication defective and require FeLV to reproduce.
