โฆ Synopsis
Cellular oncogenes and their activated and retrovirus-coded counterparts play an important role in cellular regulation. Here the relationship between such oncogenes and the genes coding for the transforming proteins of the papovaviruses, polyoma viruses, and simian virus 40 (SV40) is discussed. It is concluded that polyoma virus may transform established cells by a mechanism involving activation of a cellular oncogene product, whereas SV40 may transform by a mechanism involving a previously little studied cytoplasmic form of the transforming protein.

Transformation by the oncogenic virus SV40 has been shown to alter the expression of cellular genes at the level of RNA abundance. Many of these genes have yet to be identified. We have determined, by Northern blot analysis, the abundance levels of several growth-regulated genes in SV40-transformed
