RD-114 Virus compared with Feline and Murine Type-C Viruses released from RD Cells

Abstract

IN an effort to rescue components of a hypothetical human sarcoma virus genome1,2, a human rhabdomyosarcoma (RD) cell line3 was infected with the GA strain of FeLV4 or the rat-tropic Kirsten strain of murine sarcoma virus5 and virus productive cell lines were established. During these studies the RD-114 virus was accidentally discovered6,7 and it became of interest to compare the properties of the four cell lines (parent RD cells, RD-114 cells, RD-FeLV cells and RD-KiMSV cells) and the viruses released from three of the lines (RD-114 virus, RD-FeLV virus, RD-KiMSV virus).
