viro-comb. form

1969 R. J. Huebner & G. J. Todaro in Proc. National Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 64 1087 It is postulated that the viral information (the virogene), including that portion responsible for transforming a normal cell into a tumor cell (the oncogene), is most commonly transmitted from animal to progeny animal and from cell to progeny cell in a covert form.

1971 Nature 27 Aug. 620/2 [This] suggests that activation of this sarcoma oncogene in the tumour cells is often accompanied by activation of the gs antigen of the virogene.

1976 Nature 13 May 101/1 African Old World monkeys..and African apes..possess virogenes that are useful in the taxonomic classification of these animals.

1982 Virology CXXI. 296 (heading) The nuclear matrix is involved in herpes simplex virogenesis.

1961 Jrnl. Insect Path. 3 195 Inasmuch as the virogenetic network (strands) spreads over the entire cell, the viro~genesis is neither confined to the cytoplasm nor to the nucleus.

1982 Jrnl. Urol. 127 646/2 The improved graft survival..may be an additional manifestation of unresponsiveness, not only to immunologic but also to virogenetic stimulation.

1956 Nature 25 Aug. 412/1 In the midgut cells of Hymenoptera infected with nuclear polyhedroses proteinaceous virogenic stromata form de novo in the nuclear sap... They are networks, and virus rods differentiate within vesicles in their cords.

1982 Jrnl. Invertebrate Path. 39 205/2 The hypertrophy is evident at a very early stage and before any obvious sign of a virus infection, such as the virogenic stroma.

1948 S. F. de St. Groth in Nature 21 Aug. 295/1 This phenomenon strongly recalls the uptake by cells of colloidal dyes, and may..be termed ‘viropexis’.

1981 Jrnl. Gen. Virol. 52 329 Virosomes were taken up by Vero cells by viropexis with no evidence of fusion.

1970 Dahl & Kates in Virology XLII. 453/2 Since viral DNA complexes are quite poorly defined biochemically it seems appropriate to refer to such structures by the general term ‘virosomes’.., in analogy with chromosomes, in order to avoid more restricted nomenclature (e.g., viral DNA, DNA ‘factories’, etc.), which may..create a misleading impression concerning their composition and function.

1975 J. D. Almeida et al. in Lancet 8 Nov. 899/2 The surface hæmagglutinin and neuraminidase projections of influenza virus were removed from the viral envelope..and relocated on the surface of unilamellar liposomes. The resulting structures were..found to resemble the original virus... The name virosome is proposed for these new bodies.

1981 Jrnl. Gen. Virol. 52 329 Virosomes constitute a model system for studies on the organization of virus membrane proteins and lipids and interaction between virus particles and membranes.
