Transformation of a specific clone of Fischer rat embryo (CREF) cells with wild-type 5 adenovirus (Ad5) or the E1a plus E1b transforming gene regions of Ad5 results in epithelioid transformants that grow efficiently in agar but that do not induce tumors when inoculated into nude mice or syngeneic Fi

β¦ Synopsis
We have isolated a revertant cell line (G5) from an adenovirus transformed rat cell line (F4) which failed to express the integrated viral oncogenes. To determine whether the reversion mutation was acting in cis or trans the G5 cells were co-transfected with an El gene bearing expression plasmid and a neomycin phosphotransferase bearing plasmid. G418-resistant colonies were picked and shown to express the El proteins and to be tumorigenic. This re-transformation could be partially mimicked by treatment with vanadate, an inhibitor of phosphotyrosine phosphatases. These results show that the continued presence of the El proteins was required to maintain the transformed phenotype, and that the reversion mutation was a cis-acting event affecting directly the integrated El genes.
