Biophysical-immunological assay for ribonucleic acid type C viruses.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A biophysical and immunological method for characterization of ribonucleic acid type C virus suspensions is described. The method provides a relationship to the total viral mass concentration of the particle titer, the gs antigen titer, and the ultraviolet absorbance (268 nm) of 2% sodium dodecyl sulfate digests. Data for murine, rat, feline, and hamster viruses are shown to be analogous within the test limitations. From these data, an assessment of the viral purity can be made, the structural integrity can be evaluated, an approximate molecular weight can be computed, and the mole ratio of gs antigen can be determined.

Purification of large amounts of murine ribonucleic acid tumor viruses produced in roller bottle cultures.
Murine ribonucleic acid tumor viruses and C-type virus particles are produced in relatively large quantities in roller bottle cultures. The viruses present in large volumes of culture fluids can be purified by a simple two-step procedure involving polyethylene glycol precipitation and equilibrium centrifugation in sucrose density gradients.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) are transfusion-transmitted human pathogens that have a major impact on blood safety and public health worldwide. We developed a microarray multiplex assay for the simultaneous detection and discrimination of these three viruses. The microarray consists of 16 oligonucleotide probes, immobilized on ...

Removal of deoxyribonucleic acid from meristematic onion root cells grown in solutions of kinetin, followed by metachromatic staining in azure B bromide, indicated the presence of appreciable amounts of ribonucleic acid in nuclei exposed to the cell division factor.
متن کاملFactors Affecting Plaque Formation by the Infectious Ribonucleic Acid of the Equine Encephalitis Viruses.
Factors that influence plaque formation by the infectious RNA of the equine encephalitis viruses were studied. Optimal conditions were found that provided a very sensitive and reliable assay system for the infectious RNA of this group of viruses. There was a linear relationship between plaque counts in monolayers and the dilution of the RNA applied. The frequency distribution of plaques formed ...
متن کاملOptimization of the interferon assay using inhibition of Semliki forest virus-ribonucleic acid synthesis.
The method for assaying chicken interferon by its inhibition of viral ribonucleic acid (RNA) synthesis was optimized for the chicken embryo fibroblast-Semliki Forest virus (SFV) system, with respect to time, multiplicity of infection, and addition of actinomycin D and (3)H-uridine. Incorporation of (3)H into viral RNA is reproducible, and amounts to 10(4) to 2 x 10(4) counts per min per uninhib...
