  • Title: In vitro studies on target cells of oncogenic adenoviruses in hamster brain. III. In vitro transformation of brain cells of hamsters at various ages by bovine adenovirus type 3.
    Author: Ohmori H.
    Journal: Acta Med Okayama; 1975 Oct; 29(5):341-50. PubMed ID: 132085.
    Abstract:
    In vitro transformation of brain cells of hamsters at various ages was examined after the addition of bovine adenovirus type 3 to determine the type and origin of the target cells. Cellular transformations occurred only in cultures of fetus and newborn animals and at low incidences. Nine cell lines were obtained. Virus specific tumor antigens were demonstrated in the transformed cells. The present investigation suggested that bovine adenovirus type 3 might transform mesenchymal cells (ME cell) and that these cells are probably of meningeal or vascular origin. The histological picture of tumors following transplantation of the transformed cells resembled human primary sarcoma of the meninges and brain.
