  • Title: Rat cells transformed by simian virus 40 give rise to tumor cells which contain no viral proteins and often no viral DNA.
    Author: Seif R, Seif I, Wantyghem J.
    Journal: Mol Cell Biol; 1983 Jun; 3(6):1138-45. PubMed ID: 6308427.
    Abstract:
    Rat 3T3 cells transformed by simian virus 40 were injected into rats to examine their capacity to develop into tumors. Both large T-dependent (N) transformants and large T-independent (A) transformants were used. All the transformed cell lines contained large T and small t and could multiply efficiently in agar. Only some transformants could develop into tumors. All tumor cells examined had lost both large T and small t. Tumor cells in which the viral genome could still be detected were found together with tumor cells in which the simian virus 40 DNA could no longer be detected. N transformants which displayed the transformed phenotype in a temperature-sensitive manner became temperature insensitive during tumor formation.
