Abstract

Rauscher murine leukemia virus was produced in roller-bottle cultures of chronically infected JLS-V9 cells. Virus from this culture fluid was concentrated and purified by two semi-isopycnic bandings in sucrose gradients. Virus material obtained from young, nonconfluent cultures (early-harvest virus) yielded products characteristically containing endogenous ribonucleic acid-dependent deoxyribonucleic acid polymerase with high specific activity (400 to 1,000 pmol of [3H]thymidine 5'-triphosphate incorporated per milligram of protein per hour). Fluids obtained from older confluent cultures (late-harvest virus) yielded products with endogenous ribonucleic acid-dependent deoxyribonucleic acid polymerase with little or no specific activity (200 pmol or less of [3H]thymidine 5'-triphosphate incorporated per milligram of protein per hour), but with higher virus particle counts and greater amounts of protein and gs antigen than the early-harvest products.
