Radioimmunoassay of Mammalian Type C Viral Proteins
نویسندگان
چکیده
A radioimmunoassay specific for a murine leukemia virus structural protein, the gs antigen, detects an antigenic reactivity in normal murine cells in culture and natural tissues. The assay was shown to measure an antigen that is highly related to the virion protein as shown by absorption tests, immunoadsorbent chromatography, and by analysis of linearized dose-response curves. These findings combined with the finding of viral-specific RNA indicate that portions of the viral genome are being expressed with a much greater frequency than previously appreciated.

Radioimmunoassay for mammalian type C viral reverse transcriptase.
Radioimmunological techniques were applied to the analysis of reverse transcriptase of mammalian type C RNA viruses. The polymerase of Rauscher mouse leukemia virus was purified by ion exchange and sequential affinity chromatography. Radioimmunoassays that utilized the viral enzyme as a probe detected as little as 1 ng of purified polymerase. No cross-reactivity could be demonstrated between th...
متن کاملType C viral antigens in man. I. Antigens related to endogenous primate virus in human tumors.
Partially purified extracts from 33 human tumors of several histologic types were used as competing antigens in a radioimmunoassay for the p30 protein of an endogenous primate type C virus (M7). Antigens immunologically related to the p30 protein of the M7 virus were detected in two tumors. Like viral p30 antigens previously identified in tissues of several other primates, the antigens found in...

We previously reported the presence of RNA tumor virus related antigens in human leukemic sera. The antigens were detected by the ELISA method in 30%-40% of patients with acute leukemia [ l , 21. Since these antigens from human Sera that crossreact with primate C-type viral p30 protein had been observed with the ELISA method and since retroviral group and interspecies reactivities had been prev...

The physiologic function of the immune system is defense against infectious microbes and internal tumour cells, Therefore, need to have precise modulatory mechanisms to maintain the body homeostasis. The mammalian cellular CD200 (OX2)/CD200R interaction is one of such modulatory mechanisms in which myeloid and lymphoid cells are regulated. CD200 and CD200R molecules are membrane proteins that t...
متن کاملInterspecies antigenic determinants of the reverse transcriptases and p30 proteins of mammalian type C viruses.
The major internal structural proteins (p30) of type C viruses isolated from several mammalian species were studied by radioimmunoprecipitation and competitive radioimmunoassays. Three antigenically distinguishable sets of interspecies determinants could be demonstrated by both methods. One set of determinants shared by viruses of rodent origin (mouse and rat) can be detected readily in feline ...
