## Abstract Gene amplification contributes to carcinogenesis by enhancing protoβoncogene activity and causing chromosomal instability. The ease of detecting amplified tumorβvirus sequences has encouraged use of this system as a surrogate for studying the molecular events involved in endogenous gene
Co-culturing with origin-defective SV40 DNAinjected transformants, we succeeded in activating the limited growth potential of late-phase-II fibroblasts from patients with Werner's syndrome (WS cells). Residual life spans of three WS cell lines increased 2.3-5.6 fold. Co-culture with normal IMR-90 ce
Balb/c mouse embryo cultures that are carried under a rigid transfer schedule that minimizes cell-cell contact evolve into permanent lines that possess properties very similar to 3T3. From the same embryo cultures, a transfer schedule where cell-cell contact is extensive leads to lines (Balb/3T12) t
