Variation in Response of Syrian Hamster Lung Cells to Complete or Defective SV40 (PARA) 1

Abstract

Summary

Adult Syrian hamster lung cells were exposed to six clonal lines of PARA (defective SV40) as well as to parental SV40. All the exposed cultures transformed. SV40 T and S antigens were synthesized in all the cells transformed by PARA, but could not be detected in the culture which transformed following exposure to SV40.
