Abstract

At 37°C, undifferentiated murine teratocarcinoma cells (PCC4) are resistant to infection with SV40 and Polyoma virus. When infection is carried out at 31°C, these cells become fully susceptible to a variety of polyoma virus strains, including wt, tsa, and hrt; they also display an increased susceptibility to polyoma virus mutants (PyE.C.) which have been selected for their ability to develop in PCC4 cells at 37°C (Vasseur et al., '80). However, expression of SV40 is still restricted at 31°C and no T antigen can be detected. PCC4 cells grown at 31°C express the characteristic embryonal surface antigen(s), but no H2 antigen, and do not produce plasminogen activator.

PyE.C. mutants and other polyoma virus strains cannot develop at 37°C in nullipotent F9 embryonal carcinoma cells and restriction is not abolished at 31°C.

The results indicate that: (i) Resistance of PCC4 cells to polyoma virus and to SV40 are not mediated by the same process; (ii) loss of restriction of polyoma in PCC4 cells does not require cell differentiation; (iii) F9 and PCC4 cells control polyoma virus expression through different mechanisms.

## Abstract The properties of 121‐6 cells were characterized. This cell line is transformed by ts‐121, a temperature‐sensitive mutant of polyoma virus. Both the morphology and saturation density of the 121‐6 cells were affected by temperature; i.e. at 39° C, the cells grew to monolayer sheets and r
