## Abstract The relative importance of viral tumor antigen expression and the cellular background in the maintenance of a transformation phenotype was examined in five SV40‐transformed teratocarcinoma‐derived cell lines. These cell lines show qualitative differences in growth characteristics associ

Abstract
The cAMP levels of the 3T3 cell line and its transformed derivatives were determined. The level was found to be lower in transformed cell lines than in parental 3T3 and to decrease at confluence in all cell lines tested. SV40 transformed 3T3 cell lines which are temperature sensitive in growth control were found to have lower cAMP levels than 3T3, but these levels were not temperature dependent. Retransformation of these cell lines by murine sarcoma virus did not markedly affect their cAMP levels.

Activation of the cAMP signaling pathway in lymphoid cells is known to inhibit cell proliferation of T and B cells as well as cytotoxicity of natural killer (NK) cells. In order to find suitable model systems to study cAMP-mediated processes, we have examined the expression of cAMP-dependent protein
