Induction of simian virus 40 antigen in BSC1 transformed cells.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Heating to 45 C induced in virus-free clones of simian virus 40 (SV40) transformed BSC(1) cells the synthesis of SV40 viral antigen, as evidenced by immunofluorescence. Up to 3.8% of the cells exhibited viral antigen 72 hr after heating to 45 C for 30 min. Depletion of arginine from the medium of the heated cells enhanced and increased the percentage of cells synthesizing viral antigen to 11%. Cytosine arabinoside completely inhibited the induction of the viral antigen. No infectious virus was recovered from the cells in which synthesis of viral antigen was induced. However, small amounts of infectious SV40 virus were rescued from the BSC(1) transformed cells by fusion with rabbit kidney cells or by treatment with mitomycin C.

Simian virus 40-Chinese hamster kidney cell interaction. III. Characteristics of chemical induction in a clone of virogenic transformed cells.
A number of chemical and physical agents were screened to determine their effectiveness in inducing simian virus (SV40) production in a virogenic clone of SV40-transformed Chinese hamster cells. Mitomycin C (MC) was the most effective inducing agent, and MC induction was further characterized. It was found that levels of infectious SV40 DNA were increased above control levels as early as 6 h af...
متن کاملProperties of simian virus 40 rescued from cell lines transformed by ultraviolet-irradiated simian virus 40.
Simian virus 40 (SV40) strains have been rescued from various clonal lines of mouse kidney cells that had been transformed by ultraviolet (UV)-irradiated SV40. To learn whether some of the rescued SV40 strains were mutants, monkey kidney (CV-1) cells were infected with the rescued virus strains at 37 C and at 41 C. The SV40 strains studied included strains rescued from transformed cell lines cl...
متن کاملExcision of viral DNA from host cell DNA after induction of simian virus 40-transformed hamster cells.
Simian virus 40-transformed hamster cells were induced to produce infectious virus by treatment with mitomycin C or gamma-irradiation. A portion of the simian virus-40 DNA, which is integrated into the host cell genome in uninduced cells, was recovered in a pool of relatively low-molecular-weight DNA early after induction treatment in the absence of DNA replication. The data indicte that excisi...

Simian virus 40 (SV40)-transformed monolayer cells were analyzed in situ by indirect immunofluorescence microscopy for the postulated cell surface location of SV40 T-antigen-related molecules. With antisera prepared against purified, sodium dodecyl sulfate-denatured SV40 T-antigen, positive surface staining was obtained when the cells had been treated with formaldehyde before immunofluorescence...
متن کاملCharacterization of tau antigens isolated from uninfected and simian virus 40-infected monkey cells and papovavirus-transformed cells.
Tau antigens (also known as cellular or nonviral tumor antigens) were detected in uninfected and simian virus 40-infected monkey cells after immunoprecipitation with serum from hamsters bearing simian virus 40-induced tumours (anti-T serum). These two proteins (56,000 daltons) were digested to similarly sized peptides with various amounts of Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease. The Tau antigen is...
