Abstract
The hostβvirus interactions of Simian virus 40 (SV^40^) and polyoma virus (Py) with cell lines established from a teratocarcinoma were studied. The cells utilized in this study were the multipotential stem cell of the teratocarcinoma, embryonal carcinoma, and differentiated cells derived from embryonal carcinoma. Several lines of differentiated cells were established in vitro which included parietal yolk sac, epithelial, and spindle cell types. Embryonal carcinoma cells are not susceptible to infection by either SV~40~ or Py virus. However, differentiated cells are susceptible to infection by these viruses. The differentiated cells are permissive for Py virus replication and nonpermissive for SV~40~. Several continuously growing cell lines have been established from the SV~40~ infected cultures which express T antigen in 100% of the cells. The results indicate that undifferentiated embryonal carcinoma cells and their differentiated progeny respond quite differently to challenge with these two oncogenic DNA viruses.

Multipotential stem cells of a murine teratocarcinoma are resistant to typical infection with either polyoma virus (PV) or Simian virus 40 (SV,o). Differentiated progeny of the stem cells are susceptible to infection in a manner identical to other mouse somatic cells, i.e., they are permissive for P
