Replication of reticuloendotheliosis viruses in cell culture: acute infection.
Replication of reticuloendotheliosis viruses (REV) in cultures of chicken and duck fibroblasts leads to some cell death soon after infection. This cell killing was used to develop a plaque assay for Trager duck spleen necrosis virus (TDSNV) on duck embryo fibroblasts. A normal replicative cell cycle was required for normal virus production and the development of cytopathic effects in chicken cells exposed to TDSNV. The latent period was about two days. Stationary chicken embryo fibroblasts could be infected by REV; DNA synthesis was required, but protein synthesis was not.
Specific serological relationships among partially purified DNA polymerases of avian leukosis-sarcoma viruses, reticuloendotheliosis viruses, and avian cells.
Specific serological relationships were found among the partially purified DNA polymerases of the two groups of avian viruses whose virions contain RNA and a DNA polymerase-the avian leukosis-sarcoma viruses and the reticuloendotheliosis viruses-and three avian species which are natural hosts for these viruses: chickens, turkeys, and Pekin ducks. No relationships were found to DNA polymerases of HeLa cells or Escherichia coli. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that RNA viruses with a DNA polymerase originated from normal cellular components.
Requirement for cell division for initiation of transcription of Rous sarcoma virus RNA.
Stationary chicken embryo fibroblasts exposed to Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) did not synthesize virus RNA until after division of the infected cells. Initiation of RNA transcription after cell division resulted in transcription of the entire viral genome and was followed shortly thereafter by appearance of progeny virus. Addition of colchicine to RSV-infected stationary chicken embryo fibroblasts resulted in inhibition of cell division and a 24-h delay in the appearance of virus RNA. RSV-infected chicken embryo fibroblasts made stationary 10 to 15 cell generations after infection continued to produce an amount of progeny virus similar to that produced in dividing RSV-infected cells. Teh virus produced from cells made stationary after virus production had begun contained RNA synthesized in stationary cells. Therefore, division of the RSV-infected chicken embryo fibroblast is required for the initiation of transcription of virus RNA, but it is not required for the maintenance of transcription of virus RNA.
Infectious rous sarcoma virus and reticuloendotheliosis virus DNAs.
An efficient and quantitative assay for infectious Rous sarcoma virus and reticuloendotheliosis virus DNAs is described. The specific infectivities of viral DNA corresponded to one infectious unit per 10(5) to 10(6) viral DNA molecules. Infection with viral DNA followed one-hit kinetics. The minimal size of infectious Rous sarcoma virus DNA was approximately 6 million daltons, whereas the minimal size of infectious reticuloendotheliosis virus DNA was larger, 10 to 20 million daltons.
Reticuloendotheliosis virus nucleic acid sequences in cellular DNA.
Reticuloendotheliosis virus 60S RNA labeled with (125)I, or reticuloendotheliosis virus complementary DNA labeled with (3)H, were hybridized to DNAs from infected chicken and pheasant cells. Most of the sequences of the viral RNA were found in the infected cell DNAs. The reticuloendotheliosis viruses, therefore, replicate through a DNA intermediate. The same labeled nucleic acids were hybridized to DNA of uninfected chicken, pheasant, quail, turkey, and duck. About 10% of the sequences of reticuloendotheliosis virus RNA were present in the DNA of uninfected chicken, pheasant, quail, and turkey. None were detected in DNA of duck. The specificity of the hybridization was shown by competition between unlabeled and (125)I-labeled viral RNAs and by determination of melting temperatures. In contrast, (125)I-labeled RNA of Rous-associated virus-O, an avian leukosis-sarcoma virus, hybridized 55% to DNA of uninfected chicken, 20% to DNA of uninfected pheasant, 15% to DNA of uninfected quail, 10% to DNA of uninfected turkey, and less than 1% to DNA of uninfected duck.

Lack of serological relationship among DNA polymerases of avian leukosis-sarcoma viruses, reticuloendotheliosis viruses, and chicken cells.
Antibodies against a large and a small DNA polymerase isolated from chicken embryos and against avian myeloblastosis virus DNA polymerase were used to study the serological relationships of the DNA polymerase activities of three avian systems with RNA and a DNA polymerase-avian leukosis-sarcoma viruses, reticuloendotheliosis viruses, and a fraction from uninfected chicken cells. The DNA polymerase activity of disrupted virions of all avian leukosis-sarcoma viruses tested was neutralized to the same extent by antibody against avian myeloblastosis virus DNA polymerase and was not neutralized by the antibodies against chicken cellular DNA polymerases. The viruses tested included induced leukosis viruses and Rous-associated virus-O. The DNA polymerase activity of disrupted virions of all of the reticuloendotheliosis viruses was not neutralized by any of the antibodies. The chicken endogenous RNA-directed DNA polymerase activity was neutralized partially or completely, in different experiments, by antibody against the small DNA polymerase isolated from chicken embryos, but was not neutralized by the other two antibodies.
