Homologous recombination between microinjected SV40 DNA fragments and endogenous SV40 DNA in COS7 cells was analysed by immunofluorescence staining and DNA blotting. Time course experiments revealed that recombination between the transferred (trans) DNA and the chromosomal DNA occurred about 8 hours after microinjection with high efficiency in a gene dose independent fashion. Deletions of up to 1018 basepairs (bp) within the early or the late SV40 region were efficiently repaired after the transfer of linear but not of circular DNA molecules. A 22 bp homology between the trans DNA and the endogenous DNA was sufficient to initiate recombination but 14 nonhomologous bp at one open end of the SV40 DNA fragments hindered gap repair.
Zusammenfassung: RNA aus HARDING-PASSEY-Melanomzellen wird mit Hilfe von Mikroglaskanülen in Muskelzellen injiziert und der Einbau von [ 3 H]L-DOPA als Vorstufe des Melanins autoradiographisch untersucht. Ein Einbau von L-DOPA in den Muskelzellen konnte nur nach der Injektion von Melanomzellen-RNA erreicht werden. RNA aus Rattenleberzellen und Ribonuclease-behandelte Melanomzellen-RNA bewirken nach Injektion in Summary: The formation of melanin in muscle cells after the direct transfer of RNA from Harding-Passey melanoma cells. RNA from HARDING-PASSEY melanoma cells was injected into muscle cells by means of micro glass cannulae and the incorporation of the labelled melanin precursor [ 3 H]L-DOPA was studied autoradiographically. Incorporation of L-DOPA in muscle cells could be observed only after injection of RNA from melanoma cells. RNA from rat liver cells and ribonuclease-treated RNAVerschiedene Arbeitsgruppen berichteten in den letzten Jahren über die Aufnahme von Nucleinsäuren aus dem Kulturmedium durch Säugetierzellen 1 " 4 . Nur in wenigen Fällen konnte nachgewiesen werden, daß die aufgenommene Desoxyribonucleinsäure oder Ribonucleinsäure einen Einfluß
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
