RESUMO
The effect of medium of low ionic strength on the release of virus from Friend leukemia cells has been studied. The release of infectious Friend leukemia virus is almost completely inhibited in medium of low ionic strength, as measured by a focus-forming assay (XC assay), by endogenous RNA-dependent DNA polymerase activity of released virus particles, and by electron microscope studies of the production of C-type particles. Friend leukemia virus-transformed proerythroblasts undergo extensive morphological changes in low-ionic-strength medium. The cells are viable in this medium, but they can no longer be stimulated with dimethyl sulfoxide to produce hemoglobin and increase virus production. Infectious virus is released between 30 and 120 min of resuspension of inhibited cells in normal medium. The rate of virus release after reversal of the inhibition is much greater than the rate of virus release during normal cell growth. The morphological changes occurring after dimethyl sulfoxide stimulation of Friend leukemia cells are compared with those resulting from resuspension in normal medium of cells inhibited by low ionic strength.
