Simian virus 40 (SV40) is capable of inducing cellular DNA synthesis in permissive and nonpermissive cells. Utilizing flow cytometry, we analyzed the DNA content changes in two diploid human cell strains and two monkey cell lines. The osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) human skin fibroblasts were induced

Abstract
Infection of secondary Chinese hamster cells with SV40 virus induces a population of cells into consecutive S periods. These changes in DNA content were examined at various times post infection by means of flow microfluorometry (FMF) which enabled a kinetic analysis to be made. At 12 h post infection, a population of 6C cells was observed which was induced from late S or G~2~ cells. By 24 h post infection, cells at 8C, 10C, 12C, 16C, and intermediate DNA contents were detected. The induction of this population of cells occurred within the first 24 h post infection. At later time intervals, there was a decrease in total number of cells with DNA contents of 8C or 16C.

## Abstract Primary and secondary Chinese hamster (ChH) embryo cells infected with SV40 exhibited chromosomal changes within one cell generation (24 h). The initial change seen is an increase in the number of polyploid metaphases (>10%). The majority of the polyploid cells are tetraploid (8ร), howe
