Induction of endogenous and of spleen focus-forming viruses during dimethylsulfoxide-induced differentiation of mouse erythroleukemia cells transformed by spleen focus-forming virus.

Spleen focus-forming virus-transformed erythroleukemic cell clones, which have been established by infection of N type mice with NB trophic Friend virus, continue to release biologically active tfriend virus of NB host range. Dimethylsulfoxide induces erythroid differentiation and a 10- to 100-fold increase in the release of biologically active Friend virus. The increase of Friend virus release is a function of the differentiating erythroleukemic cell. The induced Friend viurs is not the NB tropic Friend virus complex, but shows N host range. The induction of the Friend virus complex is due to simultaneous induction of both spleen focus-forming and endogenous viruses.

Particle-associated RNA dependent DNA polymerase and high-molecular-weight RNA in a human cell line derived from polycythemia vera bone marrow.

A particle fraction with a density of 1.15-1.19 g/cm3 was isolated from the cytoplasm of a human cell line established in culture from the bone marrow of an untreated patient with polycythemia vera. Electron micrographs of cross sections of cells and cell homogenates revealed virus-like particles on which DNA could be synthesized. An RNA-dependent DNA polymerase, isolated from the particles, preferred poly(rA)-oligo(dT) over poly(dA)-oligo(dT) and was able to polymerize deoxyguanosine monophosphate in a reaction stimulated by poly(rC)-oligo(dG).
