A cell line, UC1-B, which was derived from Balb/3T3 cells, maintains the same morphological characteristics of the non-transformed parental culture, and shows no evidence of spontaneous virus production. Survey by electron microscopy shows that the cell line consists of spindle-shaped cells with no unusual features and no endogenous virus particles.UC1-B cells respond to Moloney leukemia virus (MLV) infection by a change in morphology and growth pattern which is typical of cells transformed by sarcoma virus. Electron microscopy shows that the cells are now variable in shape (rounded, rhomboid, and spindle), and each cell type has some microvilli. Virtually all (90%) of the cells show virus particles developing at the cell surface and within the cytoplasm. Maturing viruses, typical of the oncogenic viruses, are found along with atypical tubular forms in the same cell.

By immunization of a rabbit with purified gs-antigen from mouse leukemia virus (MLV) a potent antiserum (R-gs-serum) was obtained, which reacts specifically with gs-antigen of MLV.In cat leukemia virus (KLV) two types of antigens, probably both group specific, could be demonstrated with anti-KLV-sera by Ouchterlony test. One of these was shown with MLV-sera to be identical with a MLV-gs-antigen component. This antigen occurring in both viruses is called gsinterspecies (interspec.) antigen.R-gs-serum allowed to detect gs-interspec. antigen also by the more sensitive CF-test. [Lispa (leukemia virus interspec. antigen) CF-test]. Preliminary experiments with this test indicated that bovine leukosis as well as human cancer cells can produce an agent in tissue culture which is serologically related to MLV.

ABSTRACT TRIM28 is a transcriptional corepressor which is required for primer binding site (PBS)-dependent restriction of murine leukemia virus (MLV) replication in embryonic stem and embryonic carcinoma (EC) cells. PBS-dependent restriction of MLV leads to transcriptional silencing of the integrated provirus and has been shown to correlate with TRIM28-mediated recruitment of HP1 to the silenced loci. Here we show, using a cell line with a point mutation in the HP1 binding domain of TRIM28, that interaction with HP1 is absolutely required for the PBS-dependent restriction of MLV in the F9 EC cell line.
