21. Cancer - Introduction At the time peyton rous accepted his nobel Prize, it was not clearhow these and many other observations would ever be reconciled. http://science.education.nih.gov/supplements/nih1/cancer/guide/intro1.htm

map contact Introduction Late in 1910, a young scientist at Rockefeller University was preparing to conduct a most improbable experiment. He wanted to know if one chicken could “catch” cancer from another. At that time, the concept that every cell in the body is derived from another cell was new, and the idea that cancer might involve a disruption of normal cell growth was just taking hold. Thirty years had passed since Louis Pasteur’s influential paper on germ theory dislodged the humoral theory of disease that had prevailed for more than 2,000 years, and the prevailing scientific view of cancer emphasized the role of chemical and physical agents, not infectious ones, as potential causes. Nevertheless, the 30-year-old Peyton Rous was able to show that cell-free extracts from one chicken were able to cause the formation of the same type of tumor when injected into a second chicken. Rous’ tumor extracts had been passed through a filter with pores so small that even bacteria were excluded. This result strongly implicated the newly discovered “filterable agents” known as viruses. Rous was later able to demonstrate that other types of chicken tumors could also be spread by their own, unique “filterable agents,” and that each would faithfully produce its original type of tumor (bone, cartilage, blood vessel) when injected into healthy animals. Unfortunately, the full significance of these data was not to be realized for many decades. One reason was the difficulty of reproducing these results in mammals. But another reason was that scientists could not place Rous’ discovery in a proper context. So many different things seemed to be associated with cancer that no one was able to make sense of it all. For example

Baltimore, educated at Johns Hopkins (B.A., 1900; M.D., 1905). He taught (1906-08) pathology at the Univ. of Michigan and in 1909 joined the Rockefeller Institute (now Rockefeller Univ.), in New York City. His long career included research in the physiology of the liver and blood (he helped develop blood banks). The 1966 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded jointly to C. B. Huggins and Rous. The latter's award recognized his discovery of tumor-inducing viruses. The first report of this work in 1910 was received with disbelief by scientists, but subsequent research justified Rous's findings and added to the understanding of one of the causes of cancer.

Index to this page Life Cycle Genome What makes RSV oncogenic? C-SRC, a Proto-oncogene The Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) In 1911, Peyton Rous discovered that cancer could be induced in healthy chickens by injecting them with a cell-free extract of the tumor of a sick chicken. He ground up samples of the tumor and passed the material through a filter with pores so fine that not even bacteria could get through. However, the tumor filtrate was able to induce cancer when injected into chickens. This was the first demonstration of an oncogenic virus - that is, a virus capable of causing cancer. The tumor was a sarcoma , a tumor of connective tissue . The virus was named the Rous sarcoma virus (RSV). The Rous sarcoma virus is a retrovirus (as is HIV , the virus that causes AIDS Link to Retroviruses Link to AIDS The genes of retroviruses are encoded in RNA, not DNA. However, the virus contains a reverse transcriptase , a DNA polymerase that uses RNA as its template. As soon as RSV infects a cell, its reverse transcriptase synthesizes DNA copies of its genome. These enter the nucleus of the cell and insert themselves randomly throughout the DNA of the host's chromosomes. Normal gene transcription within the nucleus now produces an RSV messenger RNA (mRNA) that reenters the cytoplasm. Some copies of this mRNA are then

In 1930 the news that he had won the Nobel Prize was blared in all the afternoon papers and a shower of journalistic announcements, queries and comments came down upon him at the laboratory; yet this was wholly unconvincing to him. A friend who called at his home that evening to congratulate him found the family reading quietly, secure from telephone or radio, as if all unaware. And unaware his wife and son actually were, for Landsteiner had not mentioned the prize lest later they be disappointed concerning it.; jl 1/23/99; 2/14/99 4/19/00

29. The Health Establishment And The Order Of Skull & Bones He had to wait until 1966 to receive a nobel prize for his groundbreaking earlierwork. Francis peyton rous, by Renato Dulbecco / National Academy Press. http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/CarolASThompson/theorder.htm

Daniel Gilman Becomes President Of Johns Hopkins "Johns Hopkins, a wealthy Baltimore merchant, left his fortune to establish a University for graduate education (the first in the United States along German lines) and a medical school. "Hopkins' trustees were all friends who lived in Baltimore. How then did they come to select Daniel Coit Gilman [1852] as President of the new University? "In 1874 the trustees invited three university presidents to come to Baltimore and advise on the choice of a President. These were Charles W. Eliot of Harvard, Andrew Dickson White of Cornell, and James B. Angell of Michigan. Only Andrew Dickson White was in The Order [1853]. After meeting independently with each of these presidents, half a dozen of the trustees toured several American Universities in search of further information - and Andrew D. White accompanied the tour. The result was, in the words of James Angell: "'And now I have this remarkable statement to make to you, that without the least conference between us three, we all wrote letters telling them that the one man was Daniel C. Gilman of California.' [Footnote: John C. French, A History of the University Founded by Johns Hopkins. The Johns Hopkins Press, Baltimore, 1946, p. 26.] "The truth is that Gilman not only knew what was going on in Baltimore, but was in communication with Andrew White on the 'Baltimore scheme,' as they called it.

Huggins, MD, 1901-1997 Contact: John Easton Released: January 13, 1997 Nobel Prize winner Charles Brenton Huggins, MD, the William B. Ogden Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus of Surgery at the University of Chicago Medical Center, died at his Hyde Park home on January 12. The last survivor of the original eight faculty members of the medical school, Dr. Huggins was 95 years old. A plaque in his office, posted above his desk, carried his motto: "Discovery is our business." The death was reported by his daughter Emily Huggins Fine. Dr. Huggins' research on prostate cancer changed forever the way scientists regarded the behavior of all cancer cells and for the first time brought hope to the prospect of treating advanced cancers. By showing that cancer cells were not autonomous and self perpetuating, as previously believed, but were dependent on chemical signals, such as hormones to grow and survive, and that depriving cancer cells of those signals could restore the health of patients with widespread metastases, Dr. Huggins provided an immense stimulus to research on cancer chemotherapy. He also founded the renowned Ben May Laboratory for Cancer Research at the University of Chicago. He trained and inspired the lives of numerous medical scientists. And he became the leading urologist of his day, bringing a new level of scientific curiosity and inquiry to a neglected surgical specialty. Dr. Huggins was a pioneer in understanding the physiology and biochemistry of the male urogenital tract and was able to extend his findings from this field into many other areas.
