Macrophages from several genetic lines of chickens are susceptible to avian leukosis and sarcoma viruses of subgroups B and C but are resistant to viruses of subgroups A, D, E, F and G, even when fibroblasts derived from the same embryos are susceptible. This observation suggests that the macrophage-specific resistance is epigenetic. If the fibroblasts of a chicken embryo are genetically resistant to subgroup B or C, this resistance is also maintained in macrophages. Although chicken macrophages show active phagocytosis in cultures, they cannot initiate infection by the defective Bryan high-titer strain of Rous sarcoma virus, R(−), which lacks glycoproteins needed to enter chicken cells. Subgroup B and C viruses also activate the endogenous chicken helper factor when they replicate in macrophages derived from factor-positive embryos. However, compared to fibroblasts, the levels of exogenous as well as endogenous virus synthesized by macrophages are reduced.Studies with viral pseudotypes and with recombinants of viral envelope markers suggest that the avian tumor viral host range in macrophages is controlled by an envelope component of the virion. Macrophage-specific resistance to subgroups A and D–G is thus likely to reflect failure of the virus to penetrate into the cell because of the absence of an appropriate cellular receptor.In the experiments with recombinants several viral clones were found which showed host range characteristics of both parental viruses. The molecular basis for these intermediate host range recombinants has not yet been determined.
