Abstract

Cell lines transformed by simian virus 40 mutant F8dl (deleted from 0.168 to 0.424 map units, corresponding to the carboxy-terminal 62% of the wild-type simian virus 40 large tumor antigen) are tumorigenic in nude mice. Four of five C3H10T1/2 cell lines transformed by F8dl were tumorigenic in nude mice, whereas two of two wild-type transformants were tumorigenic.
