  • Title: Varicella-zoster virus transformation of hamster embryo cells.
    Author: Gelb LD, Huang JJ, Wellinghoff WJ.
    Journal: J Gen Virol; 1980 Nov; 51(Pt 1):171-7. PubMed ID: 6257832.
    Abstract:
    Varicella-zoster virus infection of primary hamster embryo cells resulted in oncogenic transformation. These transformed cells exhibited virus-specific antigens by immunofluorescence and developed surface Fc receptors. They induced aggressive fibrosarcomas when injected into inbred hamsters. The tumour-bearing hamsters develop antibodies to varicella-zoster antigens.
