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 associated with transformation, and vary in their state of differentiation. Viral T antigen expression was evaluated by two criteria: 1) the amount of immunoprecipitated antigen in growing cells, and 2) the amount and rate of antigen synthesis in density‐inhibited cells. There was no direct correlation found between retention, or rate of synthesis, of the viral T antigen and the degree of transformation. These findings imply that the cellular environment has a more important influence on the growth properties of a stably transformed cell than the quantitative levels of viral T antigen expression.

## Abstract Amplification of SV40 genes in SV40‐transformed Chinese hamster embryo cells (CO631) by chemical carcinogens as well as by herpes simplex virus infection can be inhibited by infection with the defective parvovirus, AAV‐5. This is shown by __in situ__ hybridization with SV40 DNA of AAV‐5
