Persistent SV5 virus infection in continuous cell cultures.

A continuous line of guinea pig kidney cells (CGPK/H) and a continuous line of mouse fibroblasts (L/H) spontaneously infected with parainfluenza virus SV5 were found. These cultures showed no enhanced cell degeneration or symplast formation, nor was haemagglutinin accumulation or infectious virus demonstrated in them. However, regular reproduction of ribonucleoprotein (RNP) characteristic of parainfluenza viruses, morphologically complete virions and antigens producing antibody to SV5 virus were found in the cells. Focal haemadsorption neutralized by antiserum to SV5 virus was also demonstrated. The infection persisted in the cell populations for over 2 years (the observation period) under standard conditions of cell dispersion and subcultivation.

[Transformational activity of the oncornaviruses isolated from RH and Hep-2 cell lines].

Oncornaviruses isolated from transplantable cell cultures Hep-2 and RH were used for inoculating primary tripsinized cell cultures of human foetal kidney (HFK) and human embryonic fibroblasts (HEF). In all 15 cases no transformation of HEF cells was noted. In inoculation of HFK with oncornaviruses isolated from RH cell culture in 2 of 16 cases there were obtained transformed cell cultures: HFK+VRH and HFK+VRH Mc) occurred twice as fast. The transformed cell cultures have gone through 15-23 passages and were characterized by a high mitotic activity, production of oncornaviruses, type A and B, and absence of contact inhibition, a capacity for multistratum three-dimensional growth, the modal number of chromosomes 64 and a mixed type AB of electrophoretic mobility of glucoso-6-phosphate dehydrogenase.

Infective substructures of Sendai virus from infected Ehrlich ascites tumor cells.

Increase of infectivity for embryonated eggs was observed in Ehrlich ascites tumor cells after intraperitoneal inoculation of Sendai virus into tumor-bearing mice. Virus-induced actinomycin-resistant ribonucleic acid consisting of 14S, 18S, 22S, 35S, and 48S was synthesized, and S antigen was produced in infected cells. The infectivity was suggested to be due to viral ribonucleoprotein for the following reasons: (i) the infectivity was unaffected by V antiserum but was abolished by whole hyperimmune serum, (ii) the infectivity was resistant to ribonuclease, (iii) virus particles were found neither in cells nor on red blood cell stroma treated with cellular extracts, (iv) structures similar to Sendai virus ribonucleoprotein with a maximal length of 10,500 A were observed in cellular extracts.
