Abstract
Type C viruses with antigenic and host range properties similar to the RD114 virus and to a virus from a continuous line of cat kidney cells, CCC, have been isolated from six of ten diploid fetal cat cell cultures. Each of the new viruses replicates readily in human and rhesus monkey cells, but not in most other cat cell strains tested. However, a cat cell strain, FFc60WF, was found that is permissive for replication of the RD/CCC group of type C viruses produced by other cat cell strains. The host range of these endogenous type C viruses includes bat, dog, mink, and rabbit cells, as well as primate cells. Type C viruses of the FeLV group could not be detected in any of these ten fetal cat cell cultures. Viral RNA from one of the new isolates, from the CCC virus, and from RD114 virus each specifically anneal S 1 to an [ 3H]DNA transcript of the RD114 genome.
