Infectivity of Rous Sarcoma Cell DNA: Comparison of Two Techniques of Transfection Assay

Abstract: A DNA extracted from a clone of chicken cells transformed by the Schmidt-Ruppin strain of Rous sarcoma virus, subgroup D (SR-RSV-D), was assayed for infectivity by means of DEAE-dextran and calcium techniques. The calcium technique like the previously described DEAE-dextran procedure gave rise to viruses in transfection assays with both native and denatured (SI nuclease susceptible) DNAs. The efficiency of these transfection techniques with native DNA was compared and found to be about the same provided that w… Show more

“…DNA from recombinant colonies was amplified by Qiagen plasmid maxi kit and transfected into ecotropic packaging cells (PE501) by using a calcium phosphate method (16). PE501 viral supernatant was used to infect PG13 cells, a primatespecific packaging line.…”

“…It has been shown previously that this proce dure has the same efficiency as the calcium phosphate technique when transfected cells are propagated under liquid medium [18]. In the case of transfections under agar overlay, however, the DEAE-dextran technique was abandoned since we found it to be far less efficient than calcium phosphate.…”

“…The extraction proce dure was reported elsewhere [18], except that the cell lysate was digested overnight with 50 ¡ag/ml proteinase K (Boehringer Mann heim France SA) instead of pronase. The transfection technique using calcium phosphate-DNA coprecipitation [19] has also been described [18], The assay was modified as follows.…”

“…The infectivity of DNA was tested under condi tions employing the calcium phosphate technique of [28] as described previously [29], DNA samples were diluted 10 times serially in HEPESbuflered saline, and the final concentration of DNA was adjusted to 10 ¡Jg/ml by the addition of carrier rat thymus DNA toeach dilution. After the DNA treat ment, the cells were subcultured 3 times during 3 weeks and examined both for foci of transformed cells and by reverse transcriptase assay [17] for nontransforming virus.…”
