Three clonal murine teratocarcinoma stem cell lines were studied for susceptibility to infection by a variety of different viruses. When in the undifferentiated state, these embryonal carcinoma stem cells are as sensitive to infection by encephalomyocarditis, Sindbis, vaccinia and vesicular stomatitis viruses as are embryo fibroblasts derived from the same mouse strain. The undifferentiated teratocarcinoma cells, unlike the fibroblasts, are entirely refractory to infection with murine leukemia virus. If the stem cells are allowed to differentiate to form a variety of differentiated cell types, they become permissive for murine leukemia virus replication at a low level. Several techniques were used to elucidate the block to murine leukemia virus infection. In the 1 nullipotent cell line which does not differentiate in vivo or in vitro, virus adsorption and penetration are not restricted (as measured by infection with murine leukemia virus pseudotypes of vesicular stomatitis virus), but an integrated proviral DNA copy cannot be detected. In a pluripotent stem cell line, proviral DNA sequences are detected, but neither transcription into viral specific RNA nor viral specific protein synthesis is observed. The control of murine leukemia virus replication in the cells is apparently a function of the stage of differentiation and perhaps also of the genetic composition of the teratocarcinoma stem cells.
