The chromosome analysis and susceptibility to transformation by Simian Virus 40 of fibroblasts from ataxia-telangiectasia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Chromosome analyses are reported for 14 lines of fibro-blasts derived from 8 ataxia-telangiectasia (ATT) patients and for 14 lines of control cells. An elevated incidence of chromosome damage including gaps and breaks, rings, dicentrics and fragments, and chromosome figures has been found to occur in ATT cells. Similar abnormalities present in different cell lines suggest that common break points occur in ATT fibroblast chromosomes. The SV40 virus transformation rates found for ATT cells lie within the range found for normal cells, and there is no direct correlation between the degree of chromosome damage exhibited by any ATT cell line and its transformation rate with SV40.

متن کاملSusceptibility of human cell strains to transformation by simian virus 40 and simian virus 40 deoxyribonucleic acid.
Marked differences were found in the susceptibility of human fibroblasts to transformation by simian virus 40 (SV40). Highly susceptible cell strains were derived from patients with diseases associated with chromosomal abnormalities and a high incidence of tumors. In the present study, SV40 transformation-susceptible cell strains were not found to have a generalized increase in viral sensitivit...
متن کاملThe transformation by simian virus 40 of cells from patients with mucopolysaccharidosis and from normal controls.
Fibroblasts derived from individuals with mucopolysaccharidosis, an inborn error of metabolism, have been found to be more easily transformed by simian virus 40 than are cells derived from normal individuals. The increased susceptibility does not seem to depend upon changes in glycoprotein at the cell surface. Repeated observations were necessary to demonstrate these differences, and we do not ...

Genomic DNA from normal human or mouse cells was transfected together with the selectable marker gpt into the simian virus 40-transformed ataxia telangiectasia fibroblast line, AT5BIVA. From a series of experiments involving over 400,000 clones selected for the gpt marker, one unambiguously radiation-resistant clone (clone 67) was recovered following selection with repeated cycles of gamma irra...
