  • Title: Endogenous ecotropic mouse type C viruses deficient in replication and production of XC plaques.
    Author: Rapp UR, Nowinski RC.
    Journal: J Virol; 1976 May; 18(2):411-7. PubMed ID: 58071.
    Abstract:
    Endogenous ecotropic type C viruses were induced by iodedeoxyuridine from nontransformed and chemically or spontaneously transformed clones of the C3H/10T1/2 cell line. Viruses produced by cells of certain transformed clones were N-tropic and formed large XC plaques. In contrast, viruses produced by nontransformed C3H/10T1/2 cells were not detectable in the XC plaque test. These XC- viruses infected mouse cells with high efficiency, as shown by the induction of murine leukemia virus group-specific antigens in infected cells, but virus production, as determined by DNA polymerase-containing particles, was extremely low. Upon growth in certain mouse cells these replication-deficient, XC(-) viruses converted to type C viruses that were similar in XC assays to N-tropic AKR virus (XC+).
