  • Title: Properties of rat cells transformed by DNA plasmids containing adenovirus type 12 E1 DNA or specific fragments of the E1 region: comparison of transforming frequencies.
    Author: Gallimore PH, Byrd PJ, Whittaker JL, Grand RJ.
    Journal: Cancer Res; 1985 Jun; 45(6):2670-80. PubMed ID: 3986802.
    Abstract:
    In this paper, we describe for the first time the transformation of normal rat cells by DNA equivalent to adenovirus type 12 Early Region 1 (E1A). This DNA was 30-fold less efficient at transformation than DNA encoding the entire E1 region. Those established lines expressing a full complement of adenovirus type 12 E1 proteins were phenotypically indistinguishable from adenovirus type 12 virus-transformed cell lines. However, cell lines produced by plasmids carrying subgenomic fragments of E1 DNA and therefore not expressing E1B Mr 52,000 protein took longer to establish and produced tumors only after a protracted latent period. A Giemsa-banding study showed that adenovirus transformation can occur without disruption of the normal rat karyotype.
