✦ Synopsis

Abstract

The recent isolation of conditional (temperature sensitive) and nonconditional transformation‐defective mutants of avian sarcoma virus strains has facilitated the investigation of the effect of virus transformation on the cell's phenotype, e.g., with respect to morphology, growth pattern, or cell surface antigenicity. Special emphasis was laid on elucidating the correlation between transformed phenotype and tumor antigen expression.

All of the tested nontransforming deletion mutants and the majority of the temperature‐sensitive mutants were unable to induce tumor antigens in phenotypically untransformed cells. However, 3 temperature‐sensitive mutants were found which were able to support the expression of tumor specific surface antigens even at restrictive temperature, when cells otherwise exhibited a normal phenotype. The theoretical and practical implications of this association between normal phenotype and tumor antigen expression are discussed.
