Nucleotide sequences derived from pheasant DNA in the genome of recombinant avian leukosis viruses with subgroup F specificity.
Recombination between viral and cellular genes can give rise to new strains of retroviruses. For example, Rous-associated virus 61 (RAV-61) is a recombinant between the Bryan high-titer strain of Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) and normal pheasant DNA. Nucleic acid hybridization techniques were used to study the genome of RAV-61 and another RAV with subgroup F specificity (RAV-F) obtained by passage o...
متن کاملWidespread presence, in chickens, of DNA complementary to the RNA genome of avian leukosis viruses.
DNA-RNA hybridization experiments have demonstrated the widespread presence in chickens of DNA complementary to the RNA of avian myeloblastosis virus. All apparently normal chicken embryos, or adult chickens that were tested, contained viral DNA in amounts ranging from 1.7 to 4.6 viral genome equivalents per cell. Embryos that were negative or positive for the group-specific antigen of avian le...
متن کاملProliferative fibromatosis in avian skeletal muscle caused by cloned recombinant avian leukosis viruses.
Two molecular recombinants (EU-8 and K-3) constructed from ring-necked pheasant virus and UR2AV, the helper virus associated with avian sarcoma virus UR2, caused a high incidence of a hitherto unreported pathological condition in chick skeletal muscle. A disease spectrum was observed in which muscle was infiltrated by proliferating fibroblasts and caused white streaks, white diffuse areas, or w...
متن کاملRadioimmunoassay for the envelope glycoprotein of subgroup E avian leukosis-sarcoma viruses.
In the absence of infectious subgroup E avian leukosis-sarcoma (ALS) viruses, some chicken embryo cells contain in their cell membrane the envelope glycoprotein of subgroup E viruses (gpE) (Hanafusa et al. 1973). The partial expression of subgroup E virus was first recognized as chick-cell-associated helper factor (chfl, which provided the helper function for the envelope-defective Bryan high-t...
متن کاملEndocytosis is a critical step in entry of subgroup B avian leukosis viruses.
The avian leukosis virus (ALV) entry mechanism is controversial, with evidence for and against a low-pH requirement for viral fusion. To further address this question, we tested the entry of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) pseudotyped with the envelope protein of subgroup B ALV (ALV-B) in the presence of three different lysosomotropic agents. These lysosomotropic agents were able to...
