Intracytoplasmic A particles: mouse mammary tumor virus nucleoprotein cores?
A rapid method for the isolation of intracytoplasmic A particles, the putative intracellular nucleoprotein cores of mouse mammary tumor virus (MTV), is presented. Spontaneous C3H/He mouse mammary tumors and transplantable mouse Leydig cell tumor were used as source material. Large aggregations of intracytoplasmic A particles were separated from cellular contaminants on discontinuous sucrose gra...
متن کاملIn vitro production of mouse mammary tumor virus in a mouse mammary tumor ascites line.
An ascites line derived from a spontaneous mouse mammary carcinoma produces, on explantation and cultivation in vitro, large amounts of oncornavirus particles. The biochemical, biophysical, and electron microscopic characteristics of the virions are described. Molecular hybridization and immunological methods identify these virions as mouse mammary tumor virus.
متن کاملConversion of mouse mammary tumor virus to a lymphomagenic virus.
Type B leukemogenic virus is a variant of mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) that causes thymic lymphomas rather than mammary tumors in mice. We demonstrate that conversion of a mammotropic MMTV to a T-cell-tropic virus requires two alterations in the long terminal repeat: (i) acquisition of a T-cell-specific enhancer and (ii) loss of transcriptional repression through deletion of negative regula...
متن کاملMouse mammary tumor virus infects human cells.
Mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) has long been speculated to be involved in human breast cancer and more recently in human primary biliary cirrhosis. Despite complete proviral sequences markedly homologous to MMTV being identified in human breast cancer tissue, no convincing evidence has been presented to date that MMTV can infect human cells. Using both wild-type and a genetically marked virus...
متن کاملCryoelectron microscopy of mouse mammary tumor virus.
Cryoelectron microscopy of Mouse mammary tumor virus, a Betaretrovirus, provided information about glycoprotein structure and core formation. The virions showed the broad range of diameters typical of retroviruses. Betaretroviruses assemble cytoplasmically, so the broad size range cannot reflect the use of the plasma membrane as a platform for assembly.
