## Abstract Guinea‐pig embryo cells were transformed in vitro by the Kirsten strain of mouse sarcoma virus (Ki‐MSV). The transformed cells were found to release infectious virus continuously and produced high titers of group‐specific, complement‐fixing antigen characteristic of the murine leukemia—

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
Reports from several laboratories have suggested that the virus transformed state may be maintained either by ectopically produced growth factors of alternatively by ectopically produced serine proteases including plasminogen activator. Here we show that the maintenance of transformation induced by Kirsten sarcoma virus induced growth factor(s) is independent of serine proteases in that (1) the factors are not themselves serine proteases, and (2) the growth factors do not induce the expression of detectable serine proteases or plasminogen activator.
