Electron microscopic studies of tumor viruses. I. Entry of murine leukemia virus into mouse embryo fibroblasts
Abstract
Entry of Rauscher leukemia virus into mouse embryo fibroblasts was studied by electron microscopy. The polycation diethylaminoethyl-dextran enhanced viral attachment and subsequent entry. At the site of viral attachment to the cell membrane, three distinct interactions occurred between the viral envelope and cell membrane, namely, (i) dissolution of viral envelopes on the cell membrane, which itself remained unaltered; (ii) simultaneous dissolution of both the envelope and cell membrane, resulting in passage of viral nucleoids directly into the cytoplasm; and (iii) dissolution of the cell membrane with direct penetration of intact enveloped particles into the cytoplasm, followed by intracytoplasmic disruption of the envelope, resulting in release of nucleoids into the cytoplasm. These interactions occurred with both mature and immature C-type particles. At no time was fusion of viral envelopes with the cell membrane observed. The mechanism of these interactions is discussed.
