## Abstract When BHK 21 cells are exposed to high multiplicities of polyoma virus, a change in surface antigen may be detected by immunofluorescence, beginning at 18 h and affecting up to 88% of cells 24 h after infection. Time‐lapse cinematography shows that there is a concurrent change in movemen

Abstract
Abortive transformation of layer cultures of BHK 21 cells by polyoma virus has been studied using serum‐depleted medium. High doses of partially purified infectious virus, in the absence of serum, stimulate the majority of the cells to synthesize DNA while empty capsids do not. The onset of DNA synthesis occurs approximately 28 h after infection, and in medium containing 0.8% γ‐depleted serum, can be followed by one round of mitoses. A temporary loss of oriented arrangement of cells is also observed commencing 25 to 30 h after infection. Abortively transformed cells resemble stably transformed lines of BHK 21 cells in their requirements for the factors in serum operative in the control of growth.

## Abstract Although BHK 21 cells remain refractory to direct transformation by SV40 virus even at multiplicities of infection as high as 10^4^ PFU per cell, transformed derivatives may be produced by cocultivation of the untransformed cells with monkey cells infected with SV40 virus. The characte
