Abstract

Takemoto, K. K. (National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Bethesda, Md.), R. L. Kirschstein, and K. Habel. Mutants of simian virus 40 differing in plaque size, oncogenicity, and heat sensitivity. J. Bacteriol. 92:990-994. 1966.-Three mutants of simian virus 40 were isolated on the basis of the type of plaques produced in primary cultures of African green monkey kidney cells and designated as L (large), S (small), and M (minute) strains. Significant differences in oncogenicity for hamsters were observed, with the 50% oncogenic dose being 10(4.5) for the L, 10(5.2) for the S, and 10(5.8) for the M strains. All three strains were capable of transforming human diploid cells (W138 strain). At temperatures up to 41 C, the S and M mutants were capable of multiplying to titers almost equivalent to those obtained at 37 C. In contrast, infectious virus was not produced when cells were infected with the L mutant and were incubated at temperatures above 39 C, although complement-fixing viral and tumor antigens were formed. The temperature-sensitive phase of replication of the L strain was shown to be a late stage in viral maturation or assembly.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
