## Abstract Plasma, serum and the main proteins involved in the final steps of blood coagulation, fibrinogen, thrombin and plasma transglutaminase, have been tested for their ability to inhibit cell transformation and/or to induce reversion of the transformed to the normal phenotype in RSVβinfected

Abstract
The effect of cell density on morphological transformation of chick embryo cells by Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) was examined in this study, and a cell density optimum for transformation was found. Less than 10% of the transformed foci appearing at the optimum density (2.5 Γ 10^4^ cells per cm^2^) developed at high cell densities, and the diameters of the foci (an indication of the number of cells per focus) decreased with increasing cell density. No correlation was found between the decrease in transformation at high cell densities and the effect of cell density on the initial rate of cell proliferation, although dissociation of transformation from incorporation of radioactive precursors into nucleic acids could not be established. Redistribution of cells infected at high density showed that only a small proportion of successfully infected cells developed into foci. The results indicate that transformation of cells containing the RSV genome can be suppressed by physiological factors accompanying high cell density.
