Abstract
In addition to hamster tumor cells induced or transformed by SV40, hamster antiโSV40 S (Surface) antiserum also reacted with nonโSV40โexposed cell lines spontaneously induced (BHK 21) or transformed by heterologous oncogenic DNA and RNA viruses in the indirect membrane fluorescent antibody test. The antiserum titered equally with both BHK and SV40โtransformed cells and the reaction could be absorbed with either of these cell lines, or with hamster embryo. The antiserum also reacted with early hamster embryo cells, although various organ cells from late fetuses, newborns and adults were negative. Mouse cell lines spontaneously induced (BALB/cโ3T3) or transformed by SV40 and adenovirus 12 were also nonโreactive. The results suggest that the antigen in question is a hamster somatic antigen present during embryonic life and derepressed in lines of actively growing cells.

## Abstract The expression of the nuclear SV40โinduced T antigen was measured by micro fluorimetry on individual, asynchronously growing SV40โtransformed cells which had been stained with hamster Tโantiserum by the indirect immunofluorescence method. The same individual cells were first measured fo
