## Abstract NIH 3T3 cells were transfected with DNA derived from human bladder carcinoma, colon carcinoma and HL60 promyelocytic leukemia cells. The transfectants were examined for the presence of human oncogenes in relation to tumorigenic potential and composition of surfaceβlocated fucosyl glycop
## Abstract Viral transformation models may be useful to detect and map human tumor suppressor genes. BK virus (BKV), a human papovavirus, readily transforms rodent cells but is unable to transform human cells, suggesting that oncosuppressive functions expressed in human cells control BKV oncogenic
Both murine and human cell lines transformed by the v-Kiras gene have been shown to be much more sensitive to the toxic effects of the cardiac glycoside ouabain than their respective controls. This differential toxicity has previously been used in the isolation of flat revertant clones from populati
