Allergic encephalomyelitis in monkeys induced by a peptide from the A1 protein.

A major disease-inducing site for induction of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis in monkeys exists in Peptide P 14, the 37-residue segment of the A1 protein comprising its COOH-terminus. The peptide appears to contain the dominant encephalitogenic determinant, since it was as active as the A1 protein on a molar basis. By contrast, the 9-residue tryptophan region and the Peptide R region, active in guinea pigs and rabbits, respectively, were comparatively inactive in monkeys. The clinical and histologic expression of the disease produced by Peptide P 14 appeared identical to that induced by the intact A1 protein.

Deoxyribonucleic acid polymerases of Rous sarcoma virus: kinetics of deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis and specificity of the products.

The deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) polymerase(s) of Rous sarcoma virus synthesizes two principal products-single-stranded DNA in the form of a DNA:ribonucleic acid (RNA) hybrid and double-stranded DNA. All of the single-stranded product and 50% of the double-stranded product can be hybridized to 70S viral RNA. These results, in combination with data obtained by analysis of the kinetics of double-stranded DNA synthesis, indicate that the synthesis of double-stranded DNA is a sequel to the synthesis of single-stranded DNA and is dependent upon the latter for the provision of initial template.
