## Abstract Infection with Herpes simplex viruses (HSV) induces amplification of SV40 sequences in SV40‐transformed Chinese hamster embryo cells (CO631). This is shown by __in situ__ hybridization of the infected cells with cloned ^32^P‐labelled SV40 DNA. The HSV‐mediated synthesis of SV40 DNA is m
## 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
## Abstract The environmental pollutants 1,6‐dinitropyrene (1,6‐DNP) and 1,8‐dinitropyrene (1,8‐DNP) are strongly carcinogenic in a number of animal models. These DNPs are metabolized by nitroreduction to __N__‐hydroxy arylamine derivatives that either directly or after acetylation bind to cellular
## Abstract Gene amplification contributes to carcinogenesis by enhancing proto‐oncogene activity and causing chromosomal instability. The ease of detecting amplified tumor‐virus sequences has encouraged use of this system as a surrogate for studying the molecular events involved in endogenous gene
