Changes in the liver resulting from the low level dietary administration of 1,1-di(p-chlorophenyl)-2-chloroethylene (DDMU),p,p'-DDT, o,p'-DDT, p,p'-DDD and p,p'-DDE to Japanese Quail have been monitored. DDMU was exceptional in causing substantial increases in relative liver wt. and hepatic glucose-6-phosphatase after feeding at 100 ppm for 28 days. The time course of liver enzyme induction by DDMU has also been studied in Japanese Quail after periods of dietary administration ranging from 1--28 days with particular reference to changes in hepatic cytochrome P-450 and relative liver wt. Structural changes in the liver have been followed by reference to protein and lipid components. The hepatic response to DDMU appears to be biphasic. Initially there are substantial increases in hepatic cytochrome P-450 and relative liver wt., but the latter is largely due to accumulation of triglycerides. After approximately 20 days the level of hepatic cytochrome P-450 remain at a high 'plateau' level. This secondary phase of liver induction probably involves cell proliferation. It is concluded that DDMU causes major changes in the avian liver and either directly or through a metabolite causes pronounced microsomal enzyme induction.

Though the inbred DDD mouse strain is essentially of the N type, the primary culture of this strain was about 100-fold more sensitive to B-tropic WN1802B virus than were the typical N-type strains (C3H/He, C57L, etc.). After cloning, DDD mouse cells segregated two types of cells, typical N-type cells and cells lacking in Fv-1 restriction. As both types of cells so far tested retained glucose-6-phosphatase-1 coded by a locus closely linked to Fv-1 and genetic cross experiments indicated the presence of a gene(s) modifying the Fv-1 phenotype, variation in Fv-1 restriction could presumably be brought about by genetic changes in a gene(s) other than Fv-1 itself. N-type and dually permissive cell clones were similarly established from the inbred G mouse. Compositions of polypeptides labeled with [35S]methionine in the N-type and dually permissive cells of DDD and G mouse origins were compared by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. The polypeptide maps of these cells were similar except for a few spots. Among these dissimilar spots, a spot of about 20,000 daltons with a pI of about 5.5 was always present in N-type cells, whereas it was absent in dually permissive cells. In DDD mouse-derived clones, a proportional relation was observed between the intensity of the spot and the restriction to the B-tropic virus.
